Given:

The expression is,


(m-2)/(m-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the expression by (m+1) on both numeratir and denominator.


\begin{gathered} (m-2)/(m-1)\cdot(m+1)/(m+1)=((m-2)(m+1))/((m-1)(m+1)) \\ =(m\cdot m+m-2m-2)/(m^2-1^2) \\ =(m^2-m-2)/(m^2-1) \end{gathered}

So option C is correct.
