Question
### Determine if the following statement is true or false.

If a piece of string has been chopped into \( n \) small pieces and the \( i \)th piece is \( \Delta x_i \) inches long, then the total length of the string is exactly \( \sum_{i=1}^{n} \Delta x_i \).

---

**Choose the correct answer below.**

- **A.** The statement is false. The length of the string is \( \lim_{h \to 0} \sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{\Delta x_{i+1} - \Delta x_i}{h} \).

- **B.** The statement is false. The length of the string is \( \sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i \).

- **C.** The statement is false. This is only an approximation of the length, not the exact length.

- **D.** The statement is true.

- **E.** The statement is false. The length of the string is \( |\Delta x_n - \Delta x_1| \).

- **F.** The statement is false. The length of the string is \( \sum_{i=0}^{n} \Delta x_i \).
