Rounding to the nearest ten means looking at the digit in the tens place. If the digit in the ones place is 5 or greater, we round up to the next ten. In this case, the digit in the tens place is 5, and the digit in the ones place is 6. Since 6 is greater than 5, we round up to 60, which is the nearest ten. The only answer choice that is closest to 60 is D, 50.
