Rationale: To convert kilometers to meters, you multiply by 1000 since 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. Therefore, 345 kilometers x 1000 = 345,000 meters. Choice A is incorrect as it doesn't account for the conversion factor. Choice C is incorrect as it adds an extra zero. Choice D is incorrect as it adds two extra zeros. Choice B is the correct answer as it correctly converts 345 kilometers to meters by multiplying by 1000.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: femto- (f) = 10^-12 meters. The prefix "femto-" represents 10^-15, not 10^-12. Therefore, choices A and D are incorrect. Choice B, nano- (n) = 10^-12, is incorrect as well because it actually represents 10^-9. The correct relationship is that femto- (f) corresponds to 10^-12 meters, making option C the right choice.
