To find the circumference of a circle, you can use the formula:

\[ C = \pi \times d \]

where \( C \) is the circumference and \( d \) is the diameter. Given that the diameter \( d = 3.25 \) meters and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[ C = 3.14 \times 3.25 \]

Now, performing the multiplication:

\[ C \approx 3.14 \times 3.25 = 10.225 \]

Rounding to the hundredths place, the circumference is approximately \( 10.23 \) meters.

However, since the provided options do not include \( 10.23 \) meters, we need to choose the closest estimate, which is:

10.22 meters.
