Answer: Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that:

- The area of California is approximately 4*10^5 km².

-  The area of Rhode Island is approximately 4*10^3 km².

2. You must divide the area of California  by the area of Rhode Island. Then, you obtain:

4*10^5 km²/4*10^3 km²=100

Therefore, the area of California is approximately 100 times greater than the area of Rhode Island. (OPTION D)
