We are given:

There were 7 chocolate bars, evenly shared between 4 friends

Number of Bars one person will get:

Number of bars one person will get = Number of Bars / Number of Friends

Number of Bars = 7 / 4

but since this number does NOT match any of the given options, we will convert it to a mixed fraction

The number of bars one person will get will be
1(3)/(4), written as a mixed fraction.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D
