units
(coordinate grid with points c (3, -2) and d (3, -4) shown)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates of C and D

Point C: \((3, -2)\), Point D: \((3, -4)\)

Step2: Calculate vertical distance (same x - coordinate)

Distance formula for vertical line: \(|y_2 - y_1|\)
Substitute \(y_1 = -2\), \(y_2 = -4\): \(|-4 - (-2)| = |-2| = 2\)
