= Solution

The <distance from a point to a plane>, applied at the origin, is the plane constant divided by the <Euclidean norm> of its <normal vector>. Therefore
$$
\boxed{|OD|=\frac1{\sqrt{a^{-2}+b^{-2}+c^{-2}}}.}
$$
The <closest point on a plane> lies on the normal through the origin; this is an <orthogonal projection onto an intercept plane>.
