B. x equals negative 64, because this value would make the denominator (4 times x plus 64) equal to zero, resulting in an undefined fraction.

AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
You interpreted the problem as y = 3/(4(x+64)) which I don't think is correct.
y = 3/(4x+64)
you need to exclude x = -16, since then 4x+64 = 0, and division by zero is undefined.
So, C.
so, @asmaaa, in the future, use math, not words, ok?
