f(x)=2x^2-x-6
Factoring:
f(x)=2(2x^2-x-6)/2=(2^2x^2-2x-12)/2=[(2x)^2-(2x)-12]/2
f(x)=(2x-4)(2x+3)/2=(2x/2-4/2)(2x+3)→f(x)=(x-2)(2x+3)

g(x)=x^2-4
Factoring
g(x)=[sqrt(x^2)-sqrt(4)][sqrt(x^2)+sqrt(4)]
g(x)=(x-2)(x+2)

f(x)/g(x)=[(x-2)(2x+3)] / [(x-2)(x+2)
Simplifying:
f(x)/g(x)=(2x+3)/(x+2)

Answer: Third Option (2x+3)/(x+2)
