Answer:

B

Explanation:

To divide the fraction, multiply the numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator.

The conjugate of 2 - 3i is 2 + 3i, thus

=
((3+i)(2+3i))/((2-3i)(2+3i))

Expand numerator/ denominator using FOIL

=
(6+11i+3i^2)/(4-9i^2) → note i² = - 1

=
(6+11i-3)/(4+9)

=
(3+11i)/(13)

=
(3)/(13) +
(11)/(13) i → B
