@eric_d instead of simplifying, you can do backward: multiple both numerator and denominator by the same number and check which are the options.

I mean \(-\dfrac{3}{8}*\color{red}{\dfrac{2}{2}}=-\dfrac{6}{16}\) oh yeah, the first option is ok, right?

Answer 8

try one more \(-\dfrac{3}{8}*\color{red}{\dfrac{4}{4}}=-\dfrac{12}{32} \) but our option is 12/32, not -12/32, hence b) is not correct one.
