Final answer:

The measurement 20.300 m has 4 significant figures.

Step-by-step explanation:

The measurement 20.300 m has 4 significant figures.

By rule 1, all nonzero digits are significant, so the first two digits (2 and 0) and the trailing zeros (0 after the decimal point and 0 at the end) are all significant.
