Explanation:

Scientific notation is written as $a\times10^{n}$ where $1\leq|a|\lt10$ and $n$ is an integer. In $10\times10^{6}$, the coefficient 10 is not in the range $1\leq|a|\lt10$. It should be rewritten as $1\times 10^{7}$. The main issue is that in scientific - notation, the number before the multiplication by the power of 10 must be between 1 (inclusive) and 10 (exclusive).

Answer:

None of the given options are correct. The correct reason is that the coefficient is not in the range $1\leq|a|\lt10$.
