Solution

The correct option is A 4
The significant figures of a number are those digits that carry meaning contributing to its measurement resolution. This includes all digits except:
1. All leading zeros;
2. Trailing zeros when they are merely placeholders to indicate the scale of the number (exact rules are explained at identifying significant figures);
3. Spurious digits introduced, for example, by calculations carried out to greater precision than that of the original data, or measurements reported to a greater precision than the equipment supports.
According to rules,
6.032
All the digits are significant. (no leading and trailing zero)
No. of significant digits =4
