To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal (flipped) of the second fraction.
The reciprocal of 3/8 is 8/3.
So, we have (-3/4) * (8/3).
Multiplying the numerators and the denominators: -3 * 8 = -24 and 4 * 3 = 12.
Therefore, the quotient is -24/12, which simplifies to -2.
Hence, the correct answer is -2.
