The question asks which of the options correctly represents 43,600 in scientific notation.

To write a number in scientific notation, we express it as a product of a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10. For 43,600:

1. Move the decimal point in 43,600 to the left until there is only one non-zero digit to its left. This gives us 4.36.
2. Count how many places the decimal was moved: it was moved 4 places. 
3. The result is \( 4.36 \times 10^4 \).

Thus, the correct answer is **B. \( 4.36 \times 10^4 \)**.
