Solution:

we have been asked to find that , how many times one number is to the other given numbers.

To do this we will divide the larger number by the smaller number and the resulting number will be the answer of the question.

Here the larger number is
8.5*10^8

The smaller number is
3.4* 10^5

Now lets divide as follows

$(8.5*10^8)/(3.4* 10^5) =(8.5)/(3.4)* 10^(8-5)\\ \\(8.5*10^8)/(3.4* 10^5) =2.5*10^3=2500$

Hence the correct option is C.
