Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Given expression is
y^{-(4)/(3)}.

Exponent of this expression is
(-(4)/(3)).

Option (A)


-(4)/(3)y

Since, exponents and coefficients of both the expressions are different.

They are not equivalent.

Option (B)


-(\sqrt[3]{y})^4=-(y^{(1)/(3)})^4


=-y^{(4)/(3)}

Here, exponent is with positive notation
(+(4)/(3)) while in the original expression it is negative
(-(4)/(3)).

Therefore, both the expressions are not equivalent.

Option (C)


\frac{1}{(\sqrt[3]{y})^4}=(\sqrt[3]{y})^(-4)


=y^{-(4)/(3)}

Both the expressions are equivalent.

Option (D)


-(\sqrt[4]{y})^3=-(y)^{(3)/(4)}

Exponents of both the expressions are different.

Therefore, not equivalent.

Option (E)


\frac{1}{(\sqrt[4]{x})^3}=(\sqrt[4]{x})^(-3)


=y^{-(3)/(4)}

Exponent of this expression is different from the original expression.

Therefore, not equivalent.

Option (C) will be the correct option.
