Since c^2=ab, the possibilities for a, b and c are given by 4^2=16, 5^2=25, 6^2=36, 7^2=49, 8^2=64 and 9^2=81.
So, the possible values of ababc are 16164, 25255, 36366, 49497, 64648 and 81819.
Since ababc is a multiple of 12, ababc is both a multiple of 3 and a multiple of 4. 16164 and 64648 are the only multiples of 4 in the list of values of ababc, because their last two digits are multiples of 4. Of these, only 16164 is a multiple of 3, since the sum of its digits is 18, which is a multiple of 3.

Therefore, abc is 164, and A is the answer.
Answer: A
