I would say D.

6 * 10^10 = 60,000,000,000 which is approximately 58,000,000,000.

@Ianiah101
It is not good enough to HOPE  that someone else's answer is correct.

It is your responsibility to enter the answer which YOU have deduced is correct.

CHECK what you have been told - if it doesn't seem right then maybe it isn't.

I have seen MANY wrong answers given here - you cannot believe everything given to you here.
