Answer:

If you take a look at, 1.5 kilometers you can see that Mercury from the Sun is 5.8, it is also asking how many more kilometers is the distance of earth, so if you look at 5.1 and D which is 5.7 you would add those last digits together and get 5.8 so therefore your answer could possibly be D) 5.7 ⋅ 109 kilometers
