the answer is C. 7/24
what to do:
you need 2 cross multiply.
7/16 4/3 1/2
the 2 and the 4 cancel, leaving the 2 as a 1, and the 4 as a2. then the 2 and 16 cancel, leaving the 2 as a 1 and the 16 as an 8. like this: 7/8 1/3 1/1. now, you multiply all the top numbers, getting 7. then multiply all the bottom numbers, getting 24. your final answer is 7/24
hope this helps :)

OK, there's a simple way to figure this out.
First, you multiply 7, 4, and 1 to get the top number, then you multiply 16, 3, and 2 to get the bottom number.
Then, you get rid of the common factors. There are two 2's that are common to both numerator and denominator, so when you take them out, you get 7/24, or C.
