Detailed Solution

Concept- Make sure that the digits are in increasing order to create the smallest three-digit number possible, and avoid placing zero as the first number to prevent the number from becoming a two-digit number.
We must arrange the numbers in ascending order, with the smallest digit appearing at the leftmost digit and the largest digit appearing in the rightmost digit, in order to find the smallest number from the given digits. If there is a zero, it must be the second digit from the left because if it is the first, the number is no longer three digits.
The numbers 2, 0, and 3 are provided to us.
We are aware that among 0, 2, 3 and 0 is the smallest digit.
2 is the subsequent lowest digit, while 3 is the final digit.
So, we obtain 023, but since we have a 0 as a digit, we must substitute it for the second digit to reach the final result.
Hence, the correct answer if option 1.
