Step-by-step solution

In order to determine the correct answer, let's proceed to compare the answers to the number and determine which is larger:

0.71 - By adding another 0 we are able compare 0.709 and 0.710. Given that the hundredths digit is 1 and 1 is greater than 0, this is the correct answer.

0.69 - Once again add another 0 to compare 0.709 and 0.690. Since the tenths digit is 6 and 6 is less than 0, this is not the correct answer.

0.70 - We'll add another 0 to compare 0.709 and 0.700. Due to the fact that the thousandths digit is 0 and 0 is less than 9, this is not the correct answer.

0.7 - Add two zeros to compare 0.709 and 0.700. Since the thousandths digit is 0 and 0 is less than 9, this is not the correct answer.
