The length of the nail is 11ebb7d6_6e13_60d3_ad4c_c7da24c44cf3_TB8285_11 inches and the thickness of the board is 11ebb7d6_6e13_60d4_ad4c_7d70ca247211_TB8285_11 inches. Therefore, the total length of the nail and the board is 11ebb7d6_6e13_c847_ad4c_6afde50231b7_TB8285_11 inches.

To find the amount of the nail that protrudes from the other side of the board, we subtract the thickness of the board from the total length.

11ebb7d6_6e13_c847_ad4c_6afde50231b7_TB8285_11 - 11ebb7d6_6e13_60d4_ad4c_7d70ca247211_TB8285_11 = 11ebb7d6_6e13_aef7_ad4c_bbe37c04b17a_TB8285_11

Therefore, the amount of the nail that protrudes from the other side of the board is 11ebb7d6_6e13_aef7_ad4c_bbe37c04b17a_TB8285_11 inches. So, the best choice is D.
