First notice that all the options are a perfect square. However we need the biggest among them. It can be seen easily that A<B<C<D therefore we can eliminate A, B and C. Now among D and E, D is bigger so it is the answer. Since both are square of some numbers in the bracket we can only compare the expression inside the bracket
