216 raised to the power 1/3 can also be written as cube root of 216.
Changing the given expression to radical form, we can write:
![(216)^{ (1)/(3) } \\ \\ = \sqrt[3]{216}](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/high-school/zmdfipjosqdvp2mkk3zmqjvkvrayrpaf5c.png)
216 is the cube of 6 i.e. multiply 6 three times (6 x 6 x 6), you will get 216.
So we can write the above expression as:
![\sqrt[3]{(6)^(3) }](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/high-school/z7bdbonagj8edc7dho1aycs3v3aiaymf93.png)
The cube root and cube cancel out each other, leaving the answer equal to 6.
So, the correct answer is option B
