Rationale: In Roman numerals, the date 2007 is correctly represented as MMVII. The Roman numeral M stands for 1000, and when repeated twice (MM), it represents 2000. The Roman numeral V represents 5, and when followed by II (two ones), it correctly represents 2007. Choice B (MDVII) is incorrect because D represents 500, and 2007 is greater than that. Choice C (MMDII) is incorrect because D represents 500, and there are two of them, making it 1000, not 2000. Choice D (MMXD) is incorrect as XD is an invalid Roman numeral combination.

Choice A ($0.90) is incorrect because it miscalculates the cost per CD. Choice B ($1.35) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the total number of CDs. Choice D ($3.60) is incorrect as it miscalculates the cost of one CD.
