ANSWER :

B.

EXPLANATION :

From the problem, we have :


(2x^(-4))/(3xy)

Note that in dividing variables with exponents, the exponents are subtracted.

and any negative exponents will be moved either from numerator to denominator or denominator to numerator.

That will be :


\begin{gathered} (2x^(-4-1))/(3y)=(2x^(-5))/(3y) \\ \text{ Move the variable with negative exponent from numerator to denominator} \\ =(2)/(3x^5y) \end{gathered}

The answer is B.
