A
12,000 km
B
12,756 km
C
12,600 km
D
12,770 km
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Its diameter (the distance from one side to the other through Earth’s center) is 7, 926 miles (about 12, 756 kilometers). Earth is slightly smaller when measured between the North and South Poles which gives a diameter of 7, 907 miles (12, 725 kilometers).

Detailed explanation-2: -The Earth’s diameter is 12, 760 km (7, 927 miles).

Detailed explanation-3: -By this measure, Saturn’s equatorial diameter is 120, 536 km (74, 898 miles). In comparison, its polar diameter is only 108, 728 km (67, 560 miles), or 10 percent smaller, which makes Saturn the most oblate (flattened at the poles) of all the planets in the solar system.
