Explanation

Choice D is correct. It's given that the length of the base of the parallelogram is 89% of the height of the parallelogram. Since h is the height of the parallelogram, it follows that the length of the base of the parallelogram can be represented by the expression 89100h, or 0.89 h .

Choice A is incorrect. This expression represents 8,900%, not 89%, of the height of the parallelogram.

Choice B is incorrect. This expression represents 8.9%, not 89%, of the height of the parallelogram.

Choice C is incorrect. This expression represents 890%, not 89%, of the height of the parallelogram.
