The circumference of a circle is given by the formula C = πd, where C is the circumference and d is the diameter. Plugging in the given diameter of 24 inches, we have C = 3.14 * 24 = 75.36 inches.
Therefore, the closest option to the circumference of the base of the shipping drum is 75.36 inches, which is option B.
