Let's first draw the diagram.



$\text{ABCDEF}$ is a regular hexagon.

So, each angle in the hexagon $= (\frac{n-2}{n})\times180^\circ$ ,  where $n=$number of sides

$\qquad  \qquad = \left(\frac{6-2}{6}\right)\times180^\circ = \left(\frac{4}{6}\right)\times180^\circ = 120^\circ$

Now,  $\frac{AP}{AB}= \cos 30^\circ$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{\frac{AC}{2}}{1}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{AC}{2}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow \boxed{AC=\sqrt{3}\;\text{cm}}$

$\therefore$  The area of a square with $AC$ as one side$= (AC)^{2}= (\sqrt{3})^{2}=3\;\text{cm}^{2}.$

Correct Answer $:\text{B}$
