The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The condition \(|x| \le |y|\) corresponds to angles between
\[ \theta = \frac{\pi}{4} \text{ to } \frac{3\pi}{4} \] and similarly in all four quadrants.

Total angular region:
\[ 4 \times \frac{\pi}{4} = \pi \]

Area inside the unit circle:
\[ \frac{\pi}{2\pi} \times \pi = \frac{3\pi}{8} \]
