The answer is C because A and D are in standard form and B is in scientific notation but it’s wrong

The correct answer would be C. 3.41 x 105

I got this because the first number in the scientific notation must only have 1 number to the left of the decimal place, or the number of significant figures wouldn't be right.

Hope this helps!
