Solution

The number of significant figures in your final answer should be determined by the measurement with the least number of significant figures. In this case, the temperature change is calculated by subtracting the initial temperature from the final temperature (29.9 - 20.5 = 9.4). This value has two significant figures. Therefore, your final answer should also have two significant figures. So, the answer is e. 2 significant figures.
