To find the best estimate of \(\sqrt{0.96}\) to the nearest hundredth, we can start by calculating it.
Using a calculator, we find:
\[
\sqrt{0.96} \approx 0.98
\]
Now, let's see how this estimate compares to the given options:
- \(0.96\)
- \(0.97\)
- \(0.98\)
- \(1.00\)
Since \(0.98\) is the closest value to \(\sqrt{0.96}\), the best estimate is:
\[
\boxed{0.98}
\]
