When you square a fraction, you square both the numerator and the denominator separately. In this case, when you have (2/7) and you want to square it, you would calculate (2/7)^2. This results in squaring the numerator (2) and squaring the denominator (7), which can be expressed as (2^2)/(7^2).

So, the correct answer illustrates this process perfectly, showing that when the fraction 2/7 is squared, it becomes (2^2)/(7^2). This is the correct representation of squaring the fraction. The other choices, while potentially interesting, do not reflect the action of squaring both parts of the fraction as required.
