The answer is B. 0.25 inch. Lets multiply all of them by the same factor. Since A. and B. have 3 decimals, lets divide all numbers by 1000: A. 0.026 * 1000 = 26, B. 0.25 * 1000 = 250, C. 0.24 * 1000 = 240, D. 0.025 * 1000 = 25. So, by comparing the whole numbers, it can be concluded that the biggest steel rod is B. 0.25 inch.
