To estimate the volume of a cylinder, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Volume} = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height}
\]
In your case, the base area is 28.2 m² and the height is 3.1 m.
Now, let's calculate the volume:
\[
\text{Volume} = 28.2 \, \text{m}^2 \times 3.1 \, \text{m} = 87.42 \, \text{m}^3
\]
When you round 87.42 to a close option provided in your responses, it is closest to D) 84 m³.
Therefore, the answer is:
**D 84 m³**.
