\frac34+\frac78+(11)/(12)+(15)/(16)+\cdots=\displaystyle\sum_(n=1)^\infty\frac{4n-1}}{4n}

The
nth term in the series is


(4n-1)/(4n)=1-\frac1{4n}

which means for large
n, the series behaves asymptotically similar to the series


\displaystyle\sum_(n=1)^\infty1

which diverges, so the answer is (B).
