EXPLANATION.
To write in scientific notation means , we write in form,
![k* 10^n](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/physics/high-school/zr6o1zdhi7tba7hmav82y8lyxjccwreee8.png)
Where n is an integer and
![1\le k\:<\:10](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/physics/high-school/ibxi3zxw6s5gixkbnc38bh078vaz5njbvj.png)
The given number is,
![6,840,000,000](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/physics/high-school/ijqjjxlqepfxz37ntxf3ejl3pn0v104df7.png)
We move the decimal point backward to obtain our k, the n here is 9, because we moved backward 9 times.
This implies that,
![6,840,000,000=6.84* 10^9](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/physics/high-school/9h8fi1xt7xiro44ipe08okwcalnrhh9zte.png)
The correct answer is D
