The fraction represents the integer 4 is 4/1. Option a is the correct answer is choice A.

To add the rational numbers
\(4\) and \((3)/(2)\) , you can first express
\(4\) as a fraction with a common denominator, which is
\(2\) in this case.


\[4 = (8)/(2)\]

Now, you can add the fractions:


\[ (8)/(2) + (3)/(2) = (8 + 3)/(2) = (11)/(2) \]

So, the sum of
\(4 + (3)/(2)\) is
\((11)/(2)\), which is a rational number.

Now, regarding the question about which fraction represents the integer
\(4\), it is
\( (4)/(1) \), also expressed as \(4.0\) in decimal form.

Therefore, the correct answer is
Choice A: \( (4)/(1) \).
