Answer 2

Option 1st is correct

`c^(18)` is the correct simplification of the expression
`(c^2)^9`

Explanation:

Using exponent rules:

`(a^n)^m = a^(nm)`

Given the expression:

`(c^2)^9`

Apply the exponent rules:

⇒
`c^(2 \cdot 9)`

Simplify:

`c^(18)`

Therefore, the correct simplification of the expression
`(c^2)^9` is,
`c^(18)`
