To find the numerical equivalent of \( 102 \cdot 103 \), we can simply calculate the multiplication:
\[ 102 \cdot 103 = 10,506 \]
However, if we are specifically looking for \( 10^5 \) (which is \( 100,000 \)), it appears that the responses provided might refer to powers of ten rather than the direct calculation of \( 102 \cdot 103 \).
Now, analyzing the options given, the correct response for the numerical equivalent of \( 102 \cdot 103 \) is not listed among your responses. If the prompt intends you to just estimate or find out comparison values, please clarify.
But to directly answer your original multiplication,
\[ 102 \cdot 103 = 10,506 \]
None of the listed responses are correct based on that multiplication. If you were looking for an approximated exponent of 5, the answer \( 100,000 \) is equal to \( 10^5 \), but it's not the multiplication result of \( 102 \cdot 103 \).
If referring to powers, the closest relevant answer based on scaling would be \( 10 \) (where \( 10^5 \) is of importance for estimation), but accurately, none from the list reflect \( 102 \cdot 103 \).
