To simplify the square root of 28, we can factor it into its prime factors:

\[
28 = 4 \times 7
\]

Now, we can use the property of square roots that states \(\sqrt{a \times b} = \sqrt{a} \times \sqrt{b}\). Thus, we can write:

\[
\sqrt{28} = \sqrt{4 \times 7} = \sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{7}
\]

Since \(\sqrt{4} = 2\), we have:

\[
\sqrt{28} = 2 \times \sqrt{7}
\]

Therefore, the simplified form of \(\sqrt{28}\) is:

\[
2\sqrt{7}
\]

So the correct response is:

**2\(\sqrt{14}\)**
