Choice A (630 mg) is incorrect as it would be the converted value if the original amount was 0.63 grams. Choice B (63 mg) is incorrect as it is the same value as the original grams. Choice D (63,000 mg) is incorrect as it is the same as the correct answer, but with a comma which is not standard when expressing numerical values.
