D Correct answer
Explanation

Area = 576, so side = sqrt(576) = 24 ft. Perimeter = 4 * 24 = 96 ft. Cost = 96 * 54 = 5184.

AI explanation

The side length of the square plot is the square root of its area of 576 sq ft, which equals 24 ft. The perimeter of this square plot is 4 times 24 ft, giving 96 ft. Multiplying this perimeter by the fencing cost of 54 rupees per foot gives a total cost of 5184 rupees. The result is 5184.
