Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will utilize the vertical addition method as follows:

First, write the numbers one below the other, aligning them by their respective place values:

4652+2161776 \begin{aligned} &4652 \\ +& \\ &2161 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} \\ \end{aligned}

Now, let's add the numbers column by column starting from the rightmost side (units place):
1. **Units Column**: 2+1=32 + 1 = 3. Write 3 in the units place.
2. **Tens Column**: 5+6=115 + 6 = 11. Write 1 in the tens place and carry over 1 to the hundreds place.
3. **Hundreds Column**: 6+1+1=86 + 1 + 1 = 8. Write 8 in the hundreds place.
4. **Thousands Column**: 4+2=64 + 2 = 6. Write 6 in the thousands place.

The sum is arranged as follows:

4652+21616813 \begin{aligned} &4652 \\ +& \\ &2161 \\ &\underline{6813} \\ \end{aligned}

Therefore, the result of adding 46524652 and 21612161 is 6813\textbf{6813}.

Checking against the choices provided, the correct answer is Choice 4: 68136813.
