Answer:

C. 5,000 feet

Explanation:

First of all, you would want to convert all of the distances into the same units.

Let's convert the distances to miles.

5,000 inches = about 0.08 miles

0.5 miles = 0.5 miles

5,000 feet = about 0.9 miles

500 yards = about 0.3 miles

Now, we compare the values.

We can easily place 5,000 inches last, because when converted to miles it's 0.08.

0.08<0.3<0.5<0.9

5,000 inches<500 yards<0.5 miles<5,000 feet

Hence, the answer is C.
