The given expression represents a mix of symbols where 
S stands for inches (or seconds), 
U stands for centimeters (or minutes), 
P stands for feet (or pounds), and 
M stands for miles.

Therefore, option A represents 10 inches + 1 cm + 14 feet + 1 inch + 1 foot + 0 pounds, which can be simplified as 11 feet and 11 inches, and can be written as 11.92 ft (approx).

Option B represents 10 inches + 1 meter + 14 feet + 1 inch + 1 foot + 0 pounds, which can be simplified as 14.37 feet (approx).

Option C represents 10 inches + 1 cm + 13 feet + 1 inch + 1 foot + 0 pounds, which can be simplified as 14 feet and 11 inches, and can be written as 14.92 ft (approx).

Option D represents 0.1 miles, which is equal to approximately 528 feet.

Hence, option D is the shortest and the best choice.
