A.
71 kilometers squared
B.
88 kilometers squared
C.
114 kilometers squared
D.

To find the approximate area of the city, we can divide the total population by the population density.
Approximate area = 552,000 / 6,300
Using a calculator, we get:
Approximate area = 87.6 kilometers squared
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the approximate area of the city is 88 kilometers squared.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 88 kilometers squared.
