Answer:
4.\ \ \ (4√(mn))/(m^2) .

Explanation:

The given expression:
\sqrt{(16n)/(m^3)}

'

since
16=4^2


m^3=m^(2+1)= m^2* m [
a^(n+m)=a^n* a^m]

Now, the given expression becomes,


\sqrt{(4^2n)/(m^2*n)}=(4√(n))/(m√(m))

Since there is root in denominator , so we need to rationalize


(4√(n))/(m√(m))*(√(m))/(√(m))=(4√(mn))/(m*√(m)*√(m) )\\\\=(4√(mn))/(m* m)\\\\=(4√(mn))/(m^2)

Hence, the correct option is
4.\ \ \ (4√(mn))/(m^2) .
