    6250 000 Days

    Explanation:

    Given the information from the question. We have to calculate the time taken for San Andreas. Given that the velocity (v) is 8 cm/yr and the distance (d). We need to calculate the time taken. Thus, Time (t) = d/v = 500*103 / 8*10-2 = 6250 000 Days.

    Therefore, the correct answer for this question is 6250 000 Days.
