Therefore, option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Writing the population of California i.e.38,040,000  in scientific notation by moving the decimal point 7 places to the left and dropping the 0's on the right  side as they're after the decimal point now.

i.e.

38,040,000 = 3.804 x 10⁷

So adding 3.804 x 10⁷ and 2.606 × 10⁷

i.e.

Thus, the total population of these two states is:

Therefore, option C is correct.
