Answer:

C

Explanation:

1)Non- zeros (1,2,3,....) are always significant.

2)Captive zeros are significant too( zeros between non- zeros ).

3)Trailing zeros (zeros at the end) aren't significant always unless if there is a decimal point.

Such this question we have decimal point so we count them
