What does exponential notation in Java use 'e' to indicate?

Natural logarithm base
Ten to the power
Euler's number
Exponential growth

The correct answer is: Ten to the power

The notation in question is specifically "expontential notation", which refers to a way of writing very large or very small numbers in a more compact and convenient way. In this form, a number is expressed as a base value multiplied by ten to the power of some exponent. For example, 1,000,000 can be written as 1*10^6. So, in this context, the use of 'e' would indicate "ten to the power". Options A and C are incorrect because 'e' is not used to denote the natural logarithm base or Euler's number in exponential notation. Option D is incorrect because it refers to a concept of exponential growth, which is not specific to the use of 'e' in exponential notation.
