Correct choice is (a) \(\frac{16}{21}\)
The best I can explain: A rational number is said to be in it’s standard form when the numbers cannot be further reduced.
Here, we can see that the options other than the option \(\frac{16}{21}\) can be reduced.
When \(\frac{16}{24}\) is reduced, we get \(\frac{2}{3}\)… Standard Form.
When \(\frac{21}{15}\) is reduced, we get \(\frac{7}{5}\)… Standard Form.
When \(\frac{-21}{56}\) is reduced, we get \(\frac{-3}{8}\)… Standard Form.
