To convert farads to picofarads, which operation is correct?

multiplying farads by 10 to the power of 12.

Pico is 10^-12, so a picofarad is 10^-12 farads. That means 1 F = 10^12 pF. To express a value in picofarads when you know the value in farads, you multiply by 10^12. So multiplying farads by 10^12 gives the correct conversion to picofarads. The other options would move the decimal in the wrong direction or apply the wrong prefix, which doesn't match the defined relationship. If you ever convert the other way—from picofarads back to farads—you'd divide by 10^12.
