To round off the number 8500750 to the nearest hundred thousand, we follow these steps:

1. Identify the hundred thousand place in the number. In 8500750, the hundred thousand place is the first '0' in '8500000'.

2. Look at the digit to the right of the hundred thousand place, which is the ten thousand place. In this case, the digit is '7' (from '8500750').

3. Apply the rounding rule:
   - If the digit in the ten thousand place is 5 or greater, we round up.
   - If it is less than 5, we round down.

Since '7' is greater than 5, we round up.

4. Therefore, we add 1 to the hundred thousand place (0 becomes 1), resulting in 8600000.

Thus, the rounded number is **8600000**.

The correct answer is **B. 8600000**.
The rounded number is 8,600,000, which is choice B.
