Correct Answer: $\sqrt[4]{k}$


Solution :
In $\triangle$ABC is a right-angled triangle.
The CD is perpendicular to AB
⇒ $\frac{AD}{BD}$ = $(\frac{AC}{BC})^{2}$
Also,
⇒ $\sqrt{k}$ = $(\frac{AC}{BC})^2$
⇒ $\frac{AC}{BC}$ = $\sqrt{k}^{\frac{1}{2}}$ = $\sqrt[4]{k}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt[4]{k}$.
