Answer»

The correct choice is (a) 6.354 x 10^9

The best I can EXPLAIN: Scientific notation should have the LEAST possible significant figures as the zeroes are made as to the power of ten. Or simply the power of ten in scientific notation is EQUAL to the number of times the decimal POINT moved to produce a number between 1 and 10.
