Answer:

A. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

369 132 000 s

The important rules are

• Digits other than zero are significant

• Trailing zeroes before the decimal point are not significant

The decimal point is after the last zero, so the three zeroes are not significant,

Thus, the underlined digits in 369 132 000 are significant.

There are six significant figures in the measurement.
