D Correct answer
Explanation

To round 9821 to the nearest thousand, look at the hundreds digit (which is 8). Since 8 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up. Therefore, 9821 rounded to the nearest thousand is 10000, not 9000. The rule is: if the hundreds digit is 5-9, round up; if it's 0-4, round down.
