By looking at the pattern of the given numbers in the calculation, we can notice that the first number (11) is added to the following number, then this result is multiplied by 111,111,111 and then the first number is added again. Therefore, the answer can be calculated as: 
(11+235)*111,111,111+11 = 2,611,111,166 
So, the closest answer to this is D: 555,555,555. Observing the pattern of the numbers in the calculation, we see that each number is multiplied by 5 and then subtracted by 1. So, starting from 9, if we apply this pattern, we get 44, 219, 1094, 5469 and finally 27,344,219. If we subtract 1 from this, we get 27,344,218 which when divided by 5 gives us 5,468,843.6 which rounds up to 5,468,844. Multiplying this by 5 and subtracting 1 gives us 27,344,219 which is the same as the answer in the calculation. Therefore, the correct choice is D)555,555,555
