Answer:

-1,331m¹⁸n¹⁵p²¹ = (-11m⁶n⁵p⁷)³

Explanation:

The cube root of 1452 is about 11.32371348.... It is not a perfect cube. The cube root of 1331 is 11, so the cube root of -1331 is -11. Either way, the number ±1331 is a perfect cube.

In order for the constellation of variables to be a perfect cube, all the exponents need to be multiples of 3. 22 is not a multiple of 3.

These criteria eliminate the 1st, 3rd, and 4th answer choices, leaving only the 2nd choice.
