C Correct answer
Explanation

The acceleration due to gravity (g) at Earth's surface is approximately 9.8 m/s². This is the maximum value because g decreases with increasing altitude or depth from the surface. Option A (980) would be in cm/s², not m/s². Option B (98) and D (0.98) are incorrect values.
