The correct answer is:
4.

Step-by-step explanation:
In scientific notation, we place the decimal behind the first non-zero digit in the number. For 75,200, this is 7.

We then count the number of places we must move the decimal to place it here. In this problem, we move the decimal 4 places. This is the exponent for 10.
