3528 = 2^3 x 3^2 x 7^2
To make this part a perfect cube we need 3*7 = 21
Further to make √k part a perfect square we need additionally 21
Thus, the Answer must be 21*21 = 441 , (C)

When we are asked to determine a number to make an expression be the square, cube, etc of a positive integer, we always have to factorize that expression and then find the number that make the exponents of all factors equal 2 (square), 3 (cube), etc.
Let's go ahead. I will apply the mentioned steps to find the answer:
1) Factorize the expression:
From the given expression, only the number 3528 can be factorized. The new expression would equal (2^3)*(3^2)*(7^2)*(k)^1/2
2) Find the number that makes the exponents of all factors equal 3 :
for the factor 2, we already have the cube of it in the expression, but for 3 and 7, we need additionally 3 and 7.
But since we are given the root of k, we would need the number to have the factors 3^2 and 7^2 so that in overall we can have (2^3)*(3^3)*(7^3)
So the right answer would be 3^2*7^2=441
Option C
