B Correct answer
Explanation

This question asks about the width of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs, with the claimed answer being 6 miles. Scientific estimates for the Chicxulub impactor that caused the K-Pg extinction are approximately 10-15 km (6-9 miles), making 6 miles a reasonable estimate within this range. The other options (5, 7, 8 miles) are close but less accurate to the scientific consensus.
