Step1: Recall scientific notation rules

Scientific notation is of the form $a\times10^{n}$, where $1\leqslant a<10$ and $n$ is an integer. In the given number $9.54\times30^{1}$, the second - factor is $30^{1}$ instead of a power of 10.

Answer:

A. No, it is not in scientific notation. The second factor is not a power of 10.
