Answer:

Third option

Explanation:
Given the following question:
3^7 × 3^10

When multiplying exponents with a common base you simply add the exponents to simplify the expression.

In this case we have...

3^7 × 3^10
7 + 10 = 17
= 3^17

Your answer is the third option or "add the exponents."

Hope this helps.
