To round off to the nearest ten, we check the digit in the place value tens and consider the digit on the right hand side of the digit
If the digit on the right hand side is 5 or greater than 5, then we add 1 to the digit in tens.

Tens on the right hand side of 9
9 4

4 is less than 5 therefore 9 remains to be 9, no adding 1 and the place of 4 is taken by zero.
= 30890

The correct answer is A (30890)
