The answer is D) 108 million kilometers. To solve this problem, you must perform a simple unit conversion calculation. 1 AU = 150,000,000 km is the conversion factor. Take the radius of Venus, .72 AU, and multiply it by 150,000,000 km/1 AU. You flip the conversion factor so that the units of the original distance in the numerator cancel the units in the denominator of the conversion factor. completing the calculation gives you 108,000,000 km

The answer is letter D.
