The North American Space Agency (NASA) reported that asteroid YU 55 crossed the space between the Earth and the Moon in November 2011. The illustration below suggests that the asteroid traveled its trajectory in the same plane that contains the orbit described by the Moon around the Earth. In the figure, the proximity of the asteroid in relation to the Earth is indicated, that is, the shortest distance it passed from the Earth's surface. Based on this information, the shortest distance that asteroid YU 55 passed from the Earth's surface is equal to (A) $3.25 \times 10^{2}\mathrm{~km}$. (B) $3.25 \times 10^{3}\mathrm{~km}$. (C) $3.25 \times 10^{4}\mathrm{~km}$. (D) $3.25 \times 10^{5}\mathrm{~km}$. (E) $3.25 \times 10^{6}\mathrm{~km}$.
