Correct answer: C
Convert decimal to hexadecimal by repeated division by 16.
3245 ÷ 16 = 202 remainder 13 → 13 = D
202 ÷ 16 = 12 remainder 10 → 10 = A
12 ÷ 16 = 0 remainder 12 → 12 = C
Read the remainders from last to first: 12 (C), 10 (A), 13 (D) → CAD.
Hex digit mapping: 10 → A, 11 → B, 12 → C, 13 → D.
Answer: (3245)₁₀ = (CAD)₁₆
