(Compare the way your question looks to the original question posted in this thread). Sorry for that, here you go : Although the earliest surviving Greek inscriptions wri...

Re:
1)
30^n > 1,000
=> n >=3 (since 30^1=30, 30^2=900, 30^3=27000 > 1000)
So 30^n will always have minimum 3 zeros
=> Hundreds digit is 0.
Sufficient.
2)
Same as above since n=3k
30^3k = (27000) ^k.
So minimum 3 zeros
=> Hundreds digit is 0.
Sufficient.

IMO B
The confusion here is the word 'each'.
If "each" were the subject of the clause, then the verb would be singular.
But in this case 'each' comes after the subjects so the subjects are still in plural form.
