To find the least integer whose square root is an irrational number between 5 and 7, we need to find the smallest perfect square greater than 5 and lesser than 7.

5 is closest to the perfect square 4, and 7 is closest to the perfect square 9. However, 4 is not a valid answer since its square root is 2 which is not between 5 and 7.

The next perfect square greater than 5 is 9. The square root of 9 is ≠3, which is between 5 and 7.

Therefore, the answer is d. 26.
