The digit in ten thousands is 9 and the digit next to it on the right hand side is 9 which is greater than 5. We add 1 to 9 and this make sit 10. We write 0 in the ten thousands place and the 1 is added to the digit in the hundred thousands and all the digits on the right side becomes zero. = 900 000

The correct answer is C (900 000).
