Is the Answer [spoiler]{B}[/spoiler]

Steps:

30^n = 3^n * 10^n --> we need to find power of 3.. we can find that by factorizing each number

570 = 3 x 190
60 = 3 x 20
30 = 3 x 10
90 = 9 x 10
100 = NO 3
700 = NO 3
343 = NO 3
720 = 9 x 80
81 = 9 x 9
So, 1+1+1+2+2+4 ==> 11

Ideally, it should be done by considering for 2,3 and 5 and then consider the lowest power. However, we can see that "5" & "2" are present in almost all of the numbers.. So, the possibility of occurrence of "3" seems minimal; that's why I considered "3"
