To find the distance from the point to the xy-plane, we need to find the z-coordinate of the point first.

The z-coordinate of the point can be found by looking at the last group of digits in the point's name, which is "TB6897_11". The first three characters "TB6" in this group represent a hexadecimal number, which can be converted to decimal as follows:

TB6 = (11 × 16²) + (11 × 16) + 6 = 2810

Therefore, the z-coordinate of the point is 2810.

The distance from the point to the xy-plane is simply the absolute value of the z-coordinate, which is 2810 in this case. Therefore, the answer is D, 8.
