B Correct answer
Explanation

Calculate stepwise with rounding: Left side ≈ 15 × 4 × 200 + (15)² = 12000 + 225 = 12225. Right side: ? + 12 × (120.67 - 98.89) + 11.10² + 14.009² ≈ ? + 12 × 21.78 + 123.21 + 196.25 ≈ ? + 261.36 + 123.21 + 196.25 ≈ ? + 580.82. Set equal: ? + 581 = 12225, so ? ≈ 11644. Among options, 11612 is closest. The question asks for approximation.
