Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question asks for the amount in dollars, so we can eliminate choices A and B (which are both in millions). Choice C is in billions, which is close, but the question specifically states that the world spends nearly $10 trillion, so the U.S. alone spending $2.3 billion seems too low. Therefore, the best choice is D, which is in trillions and reflects the high spending amount mentioned in the question.
