Answer:

D) V, S, T, U

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the question is asking for the order from greatest to least.  In the case of decimals, I find it easier to compare by placing them in a line going down and filling in zeros where needed to make them the same place values:  

2.256 - S

2.220 - T

2.099 - U

2.710 - V

Since they all have the same first digit, I will look at the next digit following the decimal.  '7' is the greatest, then '25', then '22' then '09':

D) V, S, T, U
