D Correct answer
Explanation

Perform sequential division from left to right. First: 628.905 ÷ 9.003 ≈ 69.9 (since 629 ÷ 9 ≈ 69.9). Then: 69.9 ÷ 14.01 ≈ 4.99, which rounds to approximately 5. Option A (40) would result from multiplying instead of dividing, B (50) and C (10) are incorrect calculations, and E (140) is far too large.
