Hint: We first find the value of 1 lakh with respect to thousands as we know 1 lakh is equal to 100 thousand. We also use the power value expression to find the number of zeros in 1 lakh.

Complete step by step solution:
We can use the indices or power formula to find the number of zeros in 1 lakh.
The purpose of scientific notation is for scientists to write very large, or very small, numbers with ease.
We move the decimal to the smallest one-digit place so that it can be expressed in the multiplication form of 10. For 100000, we keep moving the decimal to the left. The decimal starts after the last zero in v. We multiply with 10 to compensate for the movement.
We get 100000=105. So, the power value gives the solution.
So, the correct answer is “5”.

Note: We express 1 thousand as 1000. We also know that 1 lakh is equal to 100 thousand.Therefore, 1 lakh is equal to 100×1000=100000.We can see that there are 5 zeros in 1 lakh.
