Answer:

Option C.

Explanation:

The given expression is


√(128x^8y^3z^9)

It can be written as


\sqrt{(64\cdot 2)\cdot x^8\cdot y^(2+1)\cdot z^(8+1)}


=\sqrt{8^2\cdot 2\cdot (x^4)^2\cdot y^(2)\cdot y\cdot (z^(4))^2\cdot z}


=√((8x^4yz^4)^2\cdot 2yz)


=8x^4yz^4√(2yz)

Therefore, the correct option is C.
