Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is


(x+2)/(4x^2+5x+1)\cdot(4x+1)/(x^2-4)

Then, we can factorize the denominators are

4x² + 5x + 1 = (4x + 1)(x + 1)

x² - 4 = (x + 2)(x - 2)

So, the expression is equal to


(x+2)/((4x+1)(x+1))\cdot(4x+1)/((x+2)(x-2))

Then, multiply the expression and simplify


\begin{gathered} ((x+2)(4x+1))/((4x+1)(x+1)(x+2)(x-2)) \\ \\ (1)/((x+1)(x-2)) \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is B.
