To find the quotient of \(-7 \div (-3)\):

  1. Dividing two negative numbers results in a positive number.
  2. Therefore, \(-7 \div (-3) = 7 \div 3\).
  3. The quotient can be expressed as a fraction: \( \frac{7}{3} \).

This can also be represented as a mixed number: \[ 7 \div 3 = 2 \text{ with a remainder of } 1, \] which gives \(2 \frac{1}{3}\) or \(2.333\) as a decimal.

None of the provided responses are correct as per this explanation. The correct answer is: \[ \frac{7}{3} \text{ or } 2 \frac{1}{3}. \]
