Answer:

A

Explanation:

The expression
81^(1)/(3) has a fractional exponent. Fractional exponents represent radical expressions. The base of the fraction is the index of the radical while the the numerator is the exponent of the base.


81^(1)/(3) = \sqrt[3]{81}

However, this can be simplified further using radical rules: 81 = 3*3*3*3. So, the expression becomes:


\sqrt[3]{81} =3\sqrt[3]{3}
