To find the perimeter of a square, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Perimeter} = 4 \times \text{side length}
\]

Given the side length of the square is \( \sqrt{212} \):

\[
\text{Perimeter} = 4 \times \sqrt{212}
\]

Now, let's simplify \( \sqrt{212} \):

\[
\sqrt{212} = \sqrt{4 \times 53} = \sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{53} = 2\sqrt{53}
\]

Now substituting this back into the perimeter calculation:

\[
\text{Perimeter} = 4 \times (2\sqrt{53}) = 8\sqrt{53}
\]

Thus, the perimeter of the square in simplest radical form is:

\[
\boxed{8\sqrt{53}}
\]

Regarding the given options, there does not seem to be a direct match to our answer, but the perimeter we calculated is indeed \(8\sqrt{53}\). Please provide clarity on the comparison of our answer with the provided choices.
