this is a trick question
I hate trick questions
significant figures is a pretty simple concept until high school text books get a hold of it
I suspect that your text would be fingering 0.0053m as having a non significant zeros, and that depends on how your text describes it, certainly, there are only two significant figures to work with in 0.0053
the zeros in the other numbers are significant
