I think that the answer should be A or B

The question as it is is not clear, grammatically.  Also, there's a problem with the answer choices, c and d are identical.
Can you please post an image of the original question, perhaps the answer choices as well?

Choice D has two ways of thinking is it (4/n) + 5 or is it 4/(n+5)    sort of ambiguous.
