Solution

The correct option is A
$9.98 m$

Explanation for correct option
Significant figures of a number is positional notation or digits in the number that are reliable and necessary to indicate the quantity of something
$9.99 - 0.0099 = 9.9801 m$
But the answer should have same number of significant figures as the least accurate number
Therefore $9.99 - 0.0099 = 9.9801 = 9.98 m$
Hence, option A is correct
