Nvm it's B I think
concerned about your ambiguous typing, especially the right side (RS)
RS = (5+p/2p)
the way you typed it, this will always be (5 + 1/2) or just plain 11/2
None of the given choices subbed into the LS will make this true.
Make sure you retype your equation using brackets,
e.g.
by 5/3p , do you mean
(5/3)(p)
or 5/(3p)
RS = (5+p/2p)

you think?
Can't you check?
if p=5, you have
(5/3 * 5)+(2/3)=(5+5/2*5)
27/3 = 35/2
Guess not
clearly you have misused parentheses and maybe inflicted other typos on your expression
