Solution

The correct options are
C
kilometers

D
miles

To express the larger distances it is feasible to use either miles or kilometers as they are bigger units compared to centimeter and millimeter. Like 10 km in terms of mm is written as, 10,000,000. So, it becomes difficult to represent by this big number, so 10 km is the right way of expressing the distance.
