Detailed Solution

Given that some migratory birds travel as much as 15000 km to escape the extreme climatic conditions at home.
We need to find the distance in meters in scientific notation form.
Multiply 15000 with 1000 to convert km into m.
15000 km = 15000 × 1000 m.
15000 km = 15000000 m.
Rewrite 15000000 as the product of 1.5 and 10000000.
15000 km = 1.5 × 10000000 m
Rewrite 10000000 as 10⁷ to convert into scientific notation.
15000 km = 1.5×107.
Scientific notation is 1.5×107.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
