Answer:

B 8 × 10¹²

Explanation:

well, in a multiplication of multiplications we can freely move and combine the operands.

(4 × 10⁶) × (2 × 10⁶) = 4×2 × 10⁶×10⁶ = 8 × 10¹²

remember, when multiplying factors with the same base units, we keep the base unit and simply add the exponents as the resulting exponent.
