I hope you don't find the solution too messy. If there is anything you don't get. Let me know and I will explain it:
Answer: Choice A
Raising something to the 1/4th power is the same as applying the 4th root to that expression. Raising an expression to the 1/n power is the same as applying the nth root.
Rule:
![x^{1/n} = \sqrt[n]{x}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5E%7B1%2Fn%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bx%7D%20)
(if the text is too small it basically says x to the (1/n) = square root with a small 'n' all over x)
