To find the square root of 128, we can simplify it as follows:

  1. Factor 128:
    \[ 128 = 64 \times 2 \] and \[ 64 = 8^2 \text{ (since } 8 \times 8 = 64\text{)}. \]

  2. Now, take the square root:
    \[ \sqrt{128} = \sqrt{64 \times 2} = \sqrt{64} \times \sqrt{2} = 8 \sqrt{2}. \]

So the correct response is \( 8 \sqrt{2} \).
