Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the number 75,916. Breaking it down: 75,000 is "seventy - five thousand", 900 is "nine hundred", and 16 is "sixteen". In standard number - word conversion, we use a comma to separate the thousands place from the rest, and we don't use "and" between "thousand" and the hundreds place, nor do we use "and" between "hundred" and the tens/ones place in this way. The correct word form is "seventy - five thousand, nine hundred sixteen".

• Option A is wrong because the use of "and" is incorrect.
• Option B is wrong as we don't use the phrase "sixteen ones" in the standard word form of a number like this.
• Option C is wrong because it still uses the incorrect "and" between "thousand" and "nine hundred".
• Option D correctly states that the statement is false and gives the correct word form.

Answer:

D. The statement is false because the number 75,916 is written in words as seventy - five thousand, nine hundred sixteen.
