Answer:

Option c is correct = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Significant figures:

All non-zero digits are consider significant figures like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

Leading zeros are not consider as a significant figures. e.g. 0.03 in this number only one significant figure present which is 3.

Zero between the non zero digits are consider significant like 104 consist of three significant figures.

The zeros at the right side e.g 2400 are also significant. There are four significant figures are present.

In given measurement 0.04350 there are four significant number

4,3,5,0

These all are significant.
