A Correct answer
Explanation

The average distance from Earth's center to the Moon is approximately 384,400 km. This distance varies because the Moon's orbit is elliptical, ranging from about 363,300 km at perigee (closest) to 405,500 km at apogee (farthest). The value 384,402 km is a reasonable approximation of the mean distance.
