Right! It's B.
To round a number to the nearest ten thousand, we look at the digit in the ten thousand place and the next digit to the right.
In the number 35,554,100, the digit in the ten thousand place is 5, and the next digit to the right is 4.
Since the digit 4 is less than 5, we round down. Therefore, the answer is the option c) 35,554,000.
