To calculate the total weight of the 5 million grains of sand that Maria wanted to bring back, we can use the formula:

\[
\text{Total weight} = (\text{Number of grains}) \times (\text{Weight of each grain})
\]

We know:
- Number of grains = \(5,000,000\) grains = \(5 \times 10^6\)
- Weight of each grain = \(6.7 \times 10^{-7}\) kg

Now, we can multiply these two values:

\[
\text{Total weight} = (5 \times 10^6) \times (6.7 \times 10^{-7})
\]

Using the property of exponents, we can separate the multiplication:

\[
= (5 \times 6.7) \times (10^6 \times 10^{-7})
\]

Calculating \(5 \times 6.7\):

\[
5 \times 6.7 = 33.5
\]

Calculating \(10^6 \times 10^{-7}\):

\[
10^6 \times 10^{-7} = 10^{6 - 7} = 10^{-1}
\]

Putting it all together:

\[
\text{Total weight} = 33.5 \times 10^{-1} \text{ kg} = 3.35 \text{ kg}
\]

Thus, the correct weight of the bag of sand that Maria brings home is:

**3.35 kg**
