3
11
12
21

Answer 1

The answer is B. 11

Explanation:

11 is the base. 12 is the exponent. Hence why if it is worded, it is "11 to the power of 12"

Answer 2

An exponential has the base at the bottom, or the lower portion. Think of "basement" to help remember this. The exponent is the number up top, so 12 is the exponent

therefore, the correct answer is 11
