Significant digits in 60.00 g is a. 4.
Because any natural/whole number counts, and any 0s after the decimal point also counts. And any number between two significant figures also counts as a significant figure, in this case, between 6 and the 0s there is another 0, so it counts.
In total, there are 4 significant figures in 60.00 g.

4 significant figures. All figures are significant because the zeros are in between two significant digits
