Solution

The correct option is A two zeros
A perfect cube of a number is obtained by multiplying the number by itself three times.
Eg: 13=1×1×1=1
23=2×2×2=8
33=3×3×3=27.
Similarly, 103=10×10×10=1000.

So, perfect cubes can never end with one or two zeroes and have to end with exactly 3 zeroes or number of zeros equal to the multiple of 3.

Hence, option A is correct.
