B
negative 3 fourths over negative 2 thirds

negative 6 over 5 thirds
D
the fraction with numerator negative 1 eighth and denominator 3 and 1 fifth

Explanation

A quotient is positive when the numerator and denominator have the same sign. In choice D, both −3/4 and −2/3 are negative, so their quotient is positive. The other choices each divide a positive number by a negative number or a negative number by a positive number, giving a negative quotient.
