When we evaluate $11ead0bc_8e96_6043_99a0_9fb98b91ae57_{TB6988_{11}}$ at x = 4.5, 4.9, 4.99, 4.999, 5.5, 5.1, 5.01, and 5.001, we notice that the final digit varies between 8 and 9 as x approaches 5. Therefore, we can conclude that the last digit of the given number is 8, which means that it is closest to the number 10 when rounded to the nearest integer. Thus, the answer is $\boxed{	extbf{(D) }10}$.
