Step-by-step solution

To solve this problem, we need to express each nested root as a power of 2:

  • For 2 \sqrt{\sqrt{2}} :
    2=21/4 \sqrt{\sqrt{2}} = 2^{1/4}
  • For 23 \sqrt[3]{\sqrt{2}} :
    23=21/6 \sqrt[3]{\sqrt{2}} = 2^{1/6}
  • For 24 \sqrt[4]{\sqrt{2}} :
    24=21/8 \sqrt[4]{\sqrt{2}} = 2^{1/8}
  • For 25 \sqrt[5]{\sqrt{2}} :
    25=21/10 \sqrt[5]{\sqrt{2}} = 2^{1/10}

Now, we compare these powers:

  • 21/4>21/6>21/8>21/102^{1/4} > 2^{1/6} > 2^{1/8} > 2^{1/10} .

Therefore, the largest value is 2 \sqrt{\sqrt{2}} , which corresponds to choice 1.
