Answer:

The multiplicative inverse of -11/7 is "A. -7/11".

Explanation:

The multiplicative inverse of a fraction is found by flipping the numerator and denominator. So, if a fraction a/b has a multiplicative inverse, then it must be true that:

a/b * (b/a) = 1

In this case, we want to find the multiplicative inverse of -11/7:

-11/7 * x = 1

So, we flip the numerator and denominator of -11/7 to find x:

x = -7/11

Therefore, the multiplicative inverse of -11/7 is -7/11, which is option A.
