We want to find the function which has a domain of x not equal to -2 and x not equal to 2

For this domain to exists, the function must not exist or be undefined at x = -2 and at x = 2

from the list of option given. Let us look for the option that is undefined at x = -2 and x = 2

Considering the third option


\begin{gathered} y=(16)/(4-x^2) \\ set\text{ the denominator to zero to find the points of discontinuity} \\ 4-x^2=0 \\ 4=x^2 \\ x^2=4 \\ x=\pm2 \\ \text{The function }y=(16)/(4-x^2)\text{ exists at all points except x=-2 and x=2} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the correct option is


y=(16)/(4-x^2)
