B. 33 mm²

Explanation:

The language "product" means that we must multiply the numbers given to get our answer.

5.4 mm * 6.02 mm = 33 mm²

The significant figures rule for multiplication is that we must us the amount of significant figures in the number with the least significant figures, in this question this is 2 significant digits from 5.4 mm.
