The closest perimeter to the field's 960 feet in meters is B) 290 meters.

Convert perimeter to meters: Multiply the feet by the conversion factor: 960 feet * 0.3048 meters/foot ≈ 290.88 meters.

Compare options: Round the calculated value to the nearest whole number. Option B, 290 meters, is the closest to the actual perimeter.

Rationale: Option A (89 meters) is significantly underestimated. Options C (3,200 meters) and D (10,000 meters) are overestimated by a large margin.

Therefore, considering the converted value and the available options, B) 290 meters is the closest estimate of the field's perimeter in meters.
