Answer:

A

Explanation:

Rational expressions, as described by the question, is a fraction that has a polynomial in its numerator and its denominator.

An example will be:


\displaystyle (x^2-2x+1)/(x-1)

The numerator is a trinomial, and the denominator is a binomial.

Variable expressions is another way of saying polynomials.

As far as I'm concerned, rational fractions and variable fractions don't have any meaning.
