Answer:

The correct option is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points \((x_1,y_1)\text{ and }(x_2,y_2)\)is

\(d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\)

From the given figure it is clear that the coordinates of C are (-2,0) and the coordinates of D are (2,4).

Using distance formula we get

\(CD=\sqrt{(2-(-2))^2+(4-0)^2}\)

\(CD=\sqrt{(4)^2+(4)^2}\)

\(CD=\sqrt{16+16}\)

\(CD=\sqrt{32}\)

\(CD=5.65685424949\)

\(CD\approx 5.66\)

The distance between C and D is 5.66 units. Therefore the correct option is c.
