Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

The figures of a number that are noteworthy in high accuracy or precision are known as significant figures. They are as follows:

  • Any digit that isn't zero
  • As in 20012 or 64.60007, there are zeros between non-zero numbers.
  • Only use leading zeros when a decimal point is present, such as in 5640.0 or 532.330.
  • If the figure is less than 5, remove it and leave the rest of the number unaffected but if more than 5 add, round it up to 1, and add it to the next figure in the line.

From the given information:

To (3) sig. fig: 5578 L = 558 L
