1)
8.4 * 10^(2) is the same as
8.4 * 100 because the order of operations state to perform the exponents before multiplication.

8.4 * 100 = 840

The answer is C) 840

2) I'm assuming the second thing you said was a typo, but 8.4 × 10*2 is the same as 8.4 x 20, for the same reason above. 8.4 x 20 = 168.
