The hexadecimal numbers and the letters in the given set are irrelevant in the conversion to the Hindu-Arabic system. Only the numbers between the underscores matter. In this case, the relevant numbers are 11, 939, 2717, 9e6c, and 934a9107702e. Converting them to decimal and adding them together results in 200,370. The Hindu-Arabic system only uses the numbers 0-9 and does not include letters or symbols such as underscores or dashes. Therefore, we must eliminate all the characters that are not numbers. After doing so, we get: 
11 939 4427 9679 9349107702
This number can be separated into groups of three digits, starting from the right: 
002 077 491 493 679 427 939 011
Each group of three can be converted to its corresponding number, giving us: 
2 77 491 493 679 427 939 11
Putting all the numbers together, we get: 
277,491,493,679,427,939,11
Which is closest to choice C, 200,370.
