To add fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 15, which means we need to rewrite the second fraction with 15 as the denominator.

4/15 + 1/3 = 4/15 + 5/15 = (4+5)/15 = 9/15

Now we can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3.

9/15 = 3/5

Therefore, the answer is A: 3/5
