Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When numbers are written in scientific notation, then the number of digits between 1 and 10 gives the number of significant figures. Thus, the number 6.02×10²³ contains 3 significant figures. All the three digits (6, 0 and 2) are significant. Hence, option B is correct.
