Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{4}{7}$

Let's reduce all the given fractions to their simplest forms.
$\frac{8}{14}=\frac{4\times 2}{7\times 2}=\frac{4}{7}\frac{12}{21}=\frac{4\times 3}{7\times 3}=\frac{4}{7}\frac{16}{28}=\frac{4\times 4}{7\times 4}=\frac{4}{7}$
All the fractions are equivalent to $\frac{4}{7}$.
