Correct Option: D
To convert the base-ten number 27 to base three, we repeatedly divide by 3 and record the remainders.
- 27 ÷ 3 = 9, remainder 0
- 9 ÷ 3 = 3, remainder 0
- 3 ÷ 3 = 1, remainder 0
- 1 ÷ 3 = 0, remainder 1
Reading the remainders from bottom to top gives \(1000_3\).
Therefore, the correct conversion is \(27_{10} = 1000_3\).
