Given: \(0.01<\frac{1}{3^k}<0.1\)
Rewrite as follows: \(\frac{1}{100}<\frac{1}{3^k}<\frac{1}{10}\)
At this point we can see that it must be the case that \(10 < 3^k < 100\)
Since \(k\) must be an integer, we can see that there are two possible solutions that satisfy the inequality \(10 < 3^k < 100\).
They are: \(k = 3\) and \(k = 4\)
So the product of the solutions \(= (3)(4) = 12\)

Rewriting the given inequality, we have:
1/100 < 1/3^k < 1/10
We see that k can be 3 and 4. Thus, the product is 12.
Answer: D
