A Correct answer
Explanation

The average distance from Earth to the Sun is about 149.6 million kilometers, which astronomers call one astronomical unit (AU). This distance varies slightly throughout the year due to Earth's elliptical orbit, ranging from 147 to 152 million km, but 149 million is the standard average value cited in textbooks. Option B (123 million) is too close, option C (140 million) is also below the actual average, and option D (243 million) is closer to Mars' orbit distance than Earth's.
