What is the square root of 36?

  1. 2

  2. 3

  3. 6

  4. 9

The correct answer is: 6

The square root of 36 is 6. This is because when we multiply 6 by itself, we get 36. Option A is incorrect because 2 multiplied by itself is 4, not 36. Option B is incorrect because 3 multiplied by itself is 9, not 36. Option D is incorrect because 9 multiplied by itself is 81, not 36. Therefore, the only correct option is C.
