Answer 2

`\boxed{\boldsymbol{\sf{5(1)/(3)*4(5)/(6) }}}`

Multiply 5 and 3 to get 15.

`\boxed{\boldsymbol{\sf{(15+1)/(3)-\left((4*6+5)/(6)\right) }}}\boldsymbol{\longmapsto \ Add \ [15+1]}`

`\boxed{\boldsymbol{\sf{(16)/(3)-\left((4*6+5)/(6)\right) }}}\boldsymbol{\longmapsto \ Multiply \ [4*6+5]}`

`\boxed{\boldsymbol{\sf{(16)/(3)-\left((29)/(6)\right) }}}`

Convert fractions prior to fractions with equal denominators.

`\boxed{\boldsymbol{\sf{(32)/(6)-(29)/(6)=(32-29)/(6)=(3)/(6)=(3/3)/(6/3)=(1)/(2) }}}`

The answer is 1/2, therefore the alternative is correct is option C.
