To find the value that belongs in the box, we need to solve the equation:

\[ 104 \times \Box = 153,000 \]

To isolate the box, we can divide both sides by 104:

\[ \Box = \frac{153,000}{104} \]

Now, we perform the division:

\[ \Box \approx 1,473.076923 \]

Now, we can check which of the provided options is closest to this value.

Looking at the given options:

A. 1,530

B. 15.3

C. 153

D. 1.53

The closest value is A. 1,530.

So, the answer is A. 1,530.
