Significant figures basically means you have x digits from the first digit that is not a 0.
Since 12.655 doesn't start with a zero we start counting from the 1, and 4 figures takes us to 12.65. However the digit after that is a 5 so we round it up to 12.66.

Therefore the answer is A.
the answer is A. to the question
