First to figure this out.

3^2 = 9

3^4 = 81

3^6 = 729

Then multiplied together

=531,441

Now to figure out each value to see which one is equivalent to 531,411.

a) obviously not

b) no that equals 59,049

c) This would be the answer, 3 to the 12 power equals 531,441 ( used a calculator to check my answer.)

d) since c is the correct answer this would be eliminated as a potential answer.

Therefore, your answer is C.

Have a great night.
