To find the equivalent form of the given rational expression, Marissa needs to simplify the expression.

The given expression is: 27h^8 - 18h^5 + 12h / 3h.

First, she can simplify the expression by dividing each term by 3h:
= 9h^8 / 3h - 6h^5 / 3h + 12h / 3h.

This simplifies to:
= 3h^7 - 2h^4 + 4.

Therefore, the correct equivalent form of the rational expression is 9h^7 - 6h^4 + 4.
