The given expression is:


1250^{(3)/(4)}

Find the prime factorization of the number 1250:


1250=2*5^4

Therefore,


\begin{gathered} 1250^{(3)/(4)}=(2*5^4)^{(3)/(4)}=5^{4*(3)/(4)}*2^{(3)/(4)} \\ =5^3*2^{(3)/(4)} \\ =125(\sqrt[4]{2})^3 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the number that remains under the radical is 2.

Hence, the correct answer is 2
