Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we refer to the text on the left which states "During the Civil War, 620,000 people died on the Union and Confederate sides." Among the options, "over 600,000" is the closest approximation to 620,000. "About 6,000" and "nearly 60,000" are much lower than the actual number.

Answer:

B. over 600,000 (assuming the options are labeled as A. about 6,000, B. over 600,000, C. nearly 60,000)
