Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking for the result of the division of 16 by 3,482. To find the exact value, we divide 16 by 3,482 using a calculator or long division:

16 ÷ 3,482 = 0.004594...

However, the question provides options that are rounded to different decimal places. The closest option that matches the value of 0.004594... is 0.0046. Therefore, the correct answer is:
