Choose the correct simplification of the expression (C^4)^3
A. C^1
B. C^7
C. C^12
D. C^64

Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expression.
[tex]\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf (C^{4})^{3} \end{gathered}$}[/tex]
To raise a power to another power, multiply the exponents.
[tex]\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf C^{4\times3} \ \to \ Multiply \end{gathered}$}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf C^{12} \end{gathered}$}}[/tex]
Therefore, the correct option is "C".
