Is a zero digit in a measurement significant?

Correct answer D. It may or may not be significant

Explanation

Zeros between non-zero digits or trailing zeros after a decimal point are significant, but leading zeros, as in 0.005, only locate the decimal point and are not, so it depends on position.
