The correct answer is C. Either A or B.
A 7-digit number consists of exactly seven digits. The smallest such number is 10,00,000 (ten lakh in the Indian numbering system or one million in the international system).
Alternatively, the greatest 6-digit number is 9,99,999. Adding 1 to this gives:
9,99,999 + 1 = 10,00,000
Thus, option B (1 + greatest 6-digit number) is also correct. Hence, the right choice is C. Either A or B.
