Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
First, simplify the expression inside the parentheses before applying the exponent of 2. The exponent on nnn in the denominator simplifies with the exponent on nnn in the numerator: n13/n23=n−13n^{\frac{1}{3}} / n^{\frac{2}{3}} = n^{-\frac{1}{3}}n31/n32=n31 . When you square the entire expression, you square both the numerical coefficient (9/4)^2 = 81/16 and the exponents on mmm and nnn . The exponent on mmm becomes 2×16=132 \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{3}2×61=31 , and the exponent on nnn becomes 2×−13=−232 \times -\frac{1}{3} = -\frac{2}{3}2×31=32 , resulting in 81m1316n23\frac{81m^{\frac{1}{3}}}{16n^{\frac{2}{3}}}16n3281m31 .
