D. 1/4
Explanation:
a perfect square is written in the form
(1)
In our problem, we have this perfect square:
(2)
with C being unknown. However, by comparing (1) and (2), we know that
So, we find
and therefore, the missing term must be
so the complete square is
Answer: 4 or
To find the square root of a number, remember that there will be two factors that are the same that will give you the product.
Lets start from 1:
