Answer:

C)
(4^(21))/(5^6)

Explanation:


((4^7)/(5^2))^3\\ \\((4^7)^3)/((5^2)^3)\\ \\(4^(7*3))/(5^(2*3))\\ \\(4^(21))/(5^6)

When you are raising a fraction to an exponent, you need to raise the numerator and denominator both by that exponent. Afterward, since you are raising an exponent to an exponent, you multiply the exponents.
