Explanation:

Step1: Recall the rules for significant figures

Leading zeros (zeros before non - zero digits) are not significant. Trailing zeros (zeros after non - zero digits) in a number with a decimal point are significant.

Step2: Analyze the number 0.0030

The leading zeros (the two zeros before 3) are not significant. The digit 3 is significant. The trailing zero (after 3) is significant because there is a decimal point.
