Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number is very large, so it needs to be expressed in scientific notation with a positive exponent. The correct form is obtained by moving the decimal point 15 places to the left, giving $ 1.037 $, and then multiplying by $ 10^{15} $ to account for the decimal shift. Therefore, the answer is choice A.
