To find the circumference of a circle (or in this case, a slice of kiwi described as a circle), you can use the formula for circumference \( C \):

\[ C = \pi \times d \]

where \( d \) is the diameter of the circle.

Given that the diameter of the kiwi slice is 2.75 inches, you can calculate the circumference:

\[ C = \pi \times 2.75 \]

Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[ C \approx 3.14 \times 2.75 \approx 8.635 \]

So the circumference is approximately 8.635 inches.

Therefore, the closest answer is:

D 8.635 inches.
