Answer:

The answer is B -->
(x^(2) )/(3x^(2) -1)

How I got that:

These are really easy, you're simply looking for numbers that you can factor down. Like here:

I took:


(4x^(2) )/(12x^(2) -4)

and saw that I could factor out 4 from the denominator:


(4x^(2) )/(4(3x^(2) -1))

and then I canceled out the common factor (4 because its on both sides):


(x^(2) )/(3x^(2) -1)

And there ya go!
