First, we need to convert the distance to meters: 0.70 km = 700 m. Then, we need to convert Justine's step length to meters: 58 cm = 0.58 m. Finally, we can divide the total distance by the step length to find the number of steps: 700 m ÷ 0.58 m = 1206 steps. Rounding to the nearest hundred, the answer is approximately 1200 steps. Therefore, the best choice is C.
