Answer: B.
(-(1)/(7) ) + (-(5)/(16) )

Explanation:

To solve this, you have to find the answer to what is being compared.


-(1)/(7)-(5)/(16)=-(51)/(112)

a.
(1)/(7)+\left(-(5)/(16)\right)=-(19)/(112)

b.
\left(-(1)/(7)\right)+\left(-(5)/(16)\right)=-(51)/(112)

c.
\left(-(1)/(7)\right)-\left(-(5)/(16)\right)=(19)/(112)

d.
-\left((1)/(7)-(5)/(16)\right)=(19)/(112)

Therefore, b is the answer
