It is A) the cube root of 4. If 1/3 is in the power, that means that it can be turned into a cube root. Since it is 2/3 that is in the power, you can use that 2 at the top to be a square. Therefore you would get the cube root of 2 squared, or the cube root of 4

So the expression written numerically is
2^(2)/(3).

Remember that the rule from fractional exponents to radicals is
x^(m)/(n)=\sqrt[n]{x^m} . In this case, the radical form of our equation would be:
\sqrt[3]{2^2}=\sqrt[3]{4} , or A.
