Answer

C. 86 times larger

Explanation

To compare the mass of the Earth with respect to the mass of the Moon we need to divide both masses and simplify as follows:


\begin{gathered} \frac{mass\text{ of the Earth}}{mass\text{ of the Moon}}= \\ =(6*10^(24))/(7*10^(22)) \\ =(6)/(7)*(10^(24))/(10^(22)) \\ =(6)/(7)*10^(24-22) \\ \approx0.86*10^2 \\ \operatorname{\approx}0.86*100 \\ \operatorname{\approx}86 \end{gathered}
