The correct answer is: $\frac{17}{4}$ sq units



$\begin{aligned} \text { Required area } &=\left|\int_{-2}^{0} x^{3} d x\right|+\int_{0}^{1} x^{3} d x \\ &=\left|\left[\frac{x^{4}}{4}\right]_{-2}^{0}\right|+\left[\frac{x^{4}}{4}\right]_{0}^{1}=\frac{16}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{17}{4} \text { squnits } \end{aligned}$
