To find out how much pizza each person gets when Ginger shares \( \frac{3}{4} \) of a pizza with 8 people, we divide \( \frac{3}{4} \) by 8.
The calculation is:
\[
\text{Slice per person} = \frac{3}{4} \div 8 = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{3 \times 1}{4 \times 8} = \frac{3}{32}
\]
None of the answer choices (a, b, c, d) is \( \frac{3}{32} \), so it looks like an error is present in the options provided. However, based on the calculation, each person would get \( \frac{3}{32} \) of the pizza.

Let's revisit the calculations with the options provided:
When Ginger shares \( \frac{3}{4} \) of a pizza with 8 people, each person gets:
\[
\text{Slice per person} = \frac{3}{4} \div 8 = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{3}{32}
\]
Now, let's convert \( \frac{3}{32} \) into a decimal to compare with the answer choices.
\[
\frac{3}{32} \approx 0.09375
\]
The options are:
a) \( 6 \frac{3}{4} \) - which is significantly larger than \( \frac{3}{32} \).
b) \( \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \) - which is also larger than \( \frac{3}{32} \).
c) \( \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \) - again larger than \( \frac{3}{32} \).
d) \( \frac{1}{12} \approx 0.0833 \) - which is actually less than \( \frac{3}{32} \), making it the only option that is close to our calculated slice size.
Since \( \frac{3}{32} \approx 0.09375 \) is in-between \( \frac{1}{12} (0.0833) \) and \( \frac{1}{4} (0.25) \), none of the exact values match. However, the closest option we have is:
**d) \( \frac{1}{12} \)**.
So, based on the options given, the best choice is **d) \( \frac{1}{12} \)**.
