B. `2203`
C. `2209`
D. `4209`

Answer

To find the square of 47, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Write the expression for the square
We need to find the square of 47, which can be expressed as:
\[ 47^2 \]
This means we will multiply 47 by itself.

**Hint:** Remember that squaring a number means multiplying it by itself.

### Step 2: Perform the multiplication
Now, we will calculate:
\[ 47 \times 47 \]

To do this, we can use the standard multiplication method:

1. Multiply 47 by 7 (the unit digit of the second 47):
\[ 47 \times 7 = 329 \]
2. Multiply 47 by 4 (the ten's digit of the second 47), remembering to add a zero because we are actually multiplying by 40:
\[ 47 \times 4 = 188 \quad \text{(and then add a zero)} \quad = 1880 \]
3. Now, add the two results together:
\[ 329 + 1880 = 2209 \]

Thus,
\[ 47^2 = 2209 \]

### Final Answer:
The square of 47 is:
\[ 2209 \]
