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

\[
P = 4s
\]

where \( s \) is the side length of the square. Given that the side length is \( \sqrt{332} \), we substitute this into the formula:

\[
P = 4\sqrt{332}
\]

Next, we simplify \( \sqrt{332} \). First, we find the prime factorization of 332:

\[
332 = 4 \times 83
\]

Now, we can simplify \( \sqrt{332} \):

\[
\sqrt{332} = \sqrt{4 \times 83} = \sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{83} = 2\sqrt{83}
\]

Now substituting back into the perimeter formula:

\[
P = 4 \times 2\sqrt{83} = 8\sqrt{83}
\]

Thus, the perimeter of the square is:

\[
\boxed{8\sqrt{83}}
\]

Please note that none of the options provided in your initial list match the correct answer of \( 8\sqrt{83} \). Make sure to verify the side length or options given, as they may be incorrect.
