Choice A is the correct answer. Visualize the regions.

1. $y > x^2$: Region "inside" or above the parabola opening up.
2. $y < 4$: Region below the horizontal line $y=4$.
3. Intersection: The bowl-shaped region bounded below by the parabola and above by the line.

?�� Strategic Tip:$y > f(x)$ is above the graph, $y < f(x)$ is below.

Choice B is incorrect because outside/below the parabola is $y < x^2$. Choice C is incorrect because above $y=4$ is $y > 4$. Choice D is incorrect because the regions clearly overlap (e.g., point $(0, 1)$ works).
