1. A. 56.390 < 56.39

   • 56.390 is equivalent to 56.39 (the trailing zero does not change the value). So this statement is false.

2. B. 56.395 < 56.39

   • 56.395 is greater than 56.39. So this statement is false.

3. C. 56.395 > 56.39

   • 56.395 is indeed greater than 56.39. Hence, this statement is true.

4. D. 56.390 > 56.39

   • 56.390 is equivalent to 56.39, so this statement is false.

The correct comparison statement is: C. 56.395 > 56.39.
