To find the value of the expression, we need to simplify it step by step.
First, we simplify the parentheses: (11 + 5) = 16.
Next, we multiply 3/4 by 16: 3/4 * 16 = 48/4 = 12.
Then, we add 1/2 to 12: 1/2 + 12 = 25/2 = 12 1/2.
Finally, we add 1/4 to 12 1/2: 12 1/2 + 1/4 = 25/2 + 1/4 = 25/2 + 2/4 = 25/2 + 1/2 = 26/2 = 13.
Therefore, the value of the expression is 13.
None of the answer choices match the value of 13, so none of the given options are correct.
