From the given choices, we can deduced that the dimensions are more or less just around those number 49 to 50 and 200. The most accurate measurements are those than when multiplied will give an answer closest to 10,000.

A. 49.9 x 200.4 = 9999.96

B. 49.98 x 200.49 = 10020.4902

C. 49.981 x 200.492 = 10020.70069

D. 49.9813 x 200.4925 = 10020.87579

Thus, the answer is letter A.
