To round off a number to the nearest thousandth, we look at the digit in the fourth decimal place (after the decimal point), which is 5 in this case. If the digit in the fourth decimal place is 5 or greater, we round up the third decimal place (the digit immediately to the right of the fourth decimal place). If it is less than 5, we leave the third decimal place as it is.

In this case, the third decimal place is 5, so we round up to 6. Therefore, the rounded value is 34,567.326. Choice D is the only one that has this answer.
