In news writing and journalistic style (such as AP Style), the standard rule for using numbers is:

10 to 999

(Specifically, the second option: 10 to 999)

The General Rule:

• Numbers 1–9: Should be spelled out as words (one, two, three…).
• Numbers 10 and above: Should be written as numerals/digits (10, 11, 25…).
• Large Numbers: For numbers in the thousands or millions, you continue using digits (e.g., 1,200), but often switch back to a mix of digits and words for very large, round numbers (e.g., 5 million) to ensure readability.

Actually, there is a slight misunderstanding in how the question is phrased. The answer depends on whether the question is asking which numbers are spelled out or which are written as digits.

Based on standard journalistic style (like AP Style):

• Numbers 1 through 9: Are spelled out (one, two, three…).
• Numbers 10 and above: Are written in digits (10, 11, 99…).

So, if the question asks which numbers should be mentioned in digits, the correct range is 10 to 999 (or any number 10+).

If you select “1 to 9,” you are identifying the numbers that are typically spelled out as words, not the ones written as digits. Therefore, for “Numbers should be mentioned in digits from,” the correct option is 10 to 999.
