Answer:

D

Explanation:

Factor the numerators/ denominators

10 - 5 = 5(2a - 1) ← common factor of 5

4a² - 1 = (2a - 1)(2a + 1) ← difference of squares

[ Change ÷ to × and turn second fraction upside down ]

=
(2a+1)/(5(2a-1)) ×
((2a-1)(2a+1))/(10a)

[ cancel the factor (2a - 1) on the numerator/denominator ] leaving

=
((2a+1)^2)/(5(10a)) =
((2a+1)^2)/(50a)
