Correct answer: D
To convert the decimal number 287 to hexadecimal, we repeatedly divide by 16 and record the remainders. First, dividing 287 by 16 gives a quotient of 17 and a remainder of 15. In hexadecimal, the value 15 is represented by the letter F. Next, we divide the quotient (17) by 16, which results in a quotient of 1 and a remainder of 1. Finally, dividing 1 by 16 gives a quotient of 0 and a remainder of 1. Reading the remainders from bottom to top, we get 1, then 1, and finally F. Therefore, the hexadecimal representation is 11F.",
