Answer 1

B.

Explanation:

When moving a decimal point 2 places to the right you are multiplying. When moving it to the left you are dividing. In this case we are moving 2 places to the left which the exponent 2 is representing. If you were to move 3 places to the right or left you would need to have a three as your exponent.
