Answer:

Explanation:

To round a number to the nearest hundred, we look at the digit in the tens place. If the digit is 5 or greater, we round up. If the digit is less than 5, we round down.

In the case of 73,653, the digit in the tens place is 5. Since 5 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up.

To round up, we increase the digit in the hundreds place by 1 and replace all the digits to the right with zeros.

Therefore, 73,653 rounded to the nearest hundred is 73,700.

So, the correct option is O 73,700.
