The measurement "ml" (milliliters) does not specify a numerical value, so it cannot be determined how many significant figures are present. Significant figures depend on the precision of the number associated with the unit (e.g., 5.0 ml has two significant figures, while 0.050 ml has two significant figures as well). To assess significant figures, a specific numerical value must be provided.
There are 5 significant figures in this measurement.
The number of significant figures recorded in a measurement depends on the precision of the graduated cylinder and the measurement technique. Typically, you can record one additional digit beyond the smallest marked increment on the cylinder. For example, if the smallest increment is 1 mL, you could estimate the fluid level to the nearest 0.1 mL, allowing for three significant figures in a measurement of, say, 25.4 mL. Always consider the precision of your measuring tool to determine the appropriate number of significant figures.

6 significant figures.
There are 4 significant figures in this number.
When rounded to three significant figures, 3.738 mL becomes 3.74 mL. Remember, to round to three significant figures, you start counting from the first non-zero digit from the left.
