Final answer:

The conversion of 0.06 km to scientific notation is 6.0 × 10^-2 km, which corresponds to option B) 6.0e-002 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 0.06 km to scientific notation, you move the decimal place 2 positions to the right to make the number larger than or equal to 1 but less than 10. Doing so leaves you with a factor of 10 raised to the negative of the number of places you moved the decimal, which in this case is -2. Therefore, 0.06 km in scientific notation is 6.0 × 10-2 km.

Thus, the correct answer from the given options is B) 6.0e-002 km.
