Expanded form is the representation of a number as sum or difference of its digits with the place value. Option D breaks down the given number into each of its digit places and their corresponding values. In expanded form, we break down the number into the sum of its place values. The place values in 16,798 are:
10,000 + 6,000 + 700 + 90 + 8, which is option D. Option A is incorrect because it doesn't include the thousands place. Option B is the standard form of the number. Option C exaggerates the number by including an extra place value of 80,000.
