Answer :

To solve the problem of finding the product of 423 and 211, follow these steps:

1. First, write down the numbers as you would for standard multiplication:
```
423
× 211
```

2. Multiply 423 by each digit of 211:

- Start with the ones place (1) of 211:
```
423
× 1 (ones)
------
423 (This is 423 × 1.)
```

- Move to the tens place (1) of 211:
```
423
× 10 (tens)
------
4230 (This is 423 × 10.)
```

- Now, the hundreds place (2) of 211:
```
423
× 200 (hundreds)
------
84600 (This is 423 × 200.)
```

3. Add up all these partial products:

```
423 (ones)
4230 (tens)
84600 (hundreds)
------
89253
```

After adding the partial results together, the total product is 89,253.

Therefore, the correct answer is B. 89,253.
