To find the percentile rank of 604, we first need to arrange the data in ascending order: 513, 538, 574, 604, 625, 659, 701, 735, 789, 847. The next step is to find the rank of 604: it is the 4th value in the ordered list. The formula to find the percentile rank is:

Percentile rank = (number of values below the given value / total number of values) x 100%

In this case, the number of values below 604 is 3, and the total number of values is 10. Therefore, the percentile rank of 604 is:

Percentile rank = (3/10) x 100% = 30%

So the closest choice is D, which is 35th percentile.
