948 or 9.48 x 10^2
There are two sets of rules for significant figures
• One set for addition and subtraction
• Another set for multiplication and division
You used the set for multiplication and division.
This problem involves addition and subtraction, and the rule is
The number of places after the decimal point in the answer must be <em>no greater than the number of decimal places in every term</em> in the sum.
Thus, we have
78.9
+890.43
-21.
= 948.33
The "21" term has the fewest digits after the decimal point (none), so the answer must have no digits after the decimal point.
To the correct answer is 948 = 9.48 x 10^2. It has three significant figures.

Answer:
D. Surface tension.
Explanation:
Surface tension is defined as the energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a unit amount.
The surface tension of a liquid results from an imbalance of intermolecular attractive forces, the cohesive forces between molecules:
A molecule in a liquid experiences cohesive forces with other molecules in all directions while molecules at the surface of a liquid experiences only net inward cohesive forces.
