D Correct answer
Explanation

Approximating: 139.93 ≈ 140, 24.102 ≈ 24, 27.89 ≈ 28, 7.53 ≈ 7.5. Then: (140 × 24) - (28 × 7.5) = 3360 - 210 = 3150. The closest option is D (3150). The calculation requires careful approximation and arithmetic to avoid errors. Options A, B, C, and E result from calculation errors or incorrect approximations.
