Answer:

C. 3.7 in

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the surface area of the basketball, which is calculated as follows:

Surface area of a sphere = 4πr²

Replacing with a surface area of 171.9 square inches and solving for radius, we get:

171.9 = 4πr²

$r^2 = \frac{171.9}{4 \cdot 3.14}$

$r = \sqrt{13.69}$

r = 3.7 in
