-5/16

Our choices:-

A.-3/8

B.-11/12

C.-1/4

D.-1/8

Let us get all of them with a LCD

-1*2 = - 2

8*2 = 16

-2/16 is not bigger than - 5/16

-11/12 is bigger than - 5/16 because half of 16 is 8.

-1*4 = - 4

4*4 = 16

-4/16 is not bigger than - 5/16

-1/8 is smaller than - 5/16

Final answer: - 11/12 is the only fraction bigger than - 5/16
