    To simplify the expression \( \frac{x}{x^{3/4}} \), we can use the properties of exponents. Specifically, we can use the rule that states:
\[
\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}
\]
Applying this rule to our expression:
\[
\frac{x}{x^{3/4}} = x^{1 - \frac{3}{4}}
\]
Now, simplify the exponent:
\[
1 - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{4}{4} - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{4}
\]
So, we have:
\[
\frac{x}{x^{3/4}} = x^{1/4}
\]
Thus, the expression \( \frac{x}{x^{3/4}} \) is equivalent to:
\[
x^{1/4}
\]
This is the final answer.

    Given the options, we can rewrite the expression we found, \( x^{1/4} \), to match one of the options. 
The expression \( x^{1/4} \) can also be expressed as:
\[
x^{1/4} = \sqrt[4]{x}
\]
To see if this matches any of your options, let's evaluate each one:
1. **\( x \)**: This is \( x^1 \), which is not equivalent to \( x^{1/4} \).
2. **\( \frac{1}{4} \sqrt{x} \)**: This means \( \frac{1}{4} x^{1/2} \), which does not match \( x^{1/4} \).
3. **\( 4 \sqrt{x} \)**: This means \( 4 x^{1/2} \), which does not match \( x^{1/4} \).
4. **\( x^4 \)**: This is \( x^4 \), which is also not equivalent to \( x^{1/4} \).
None of the options exactly match \( x^{1/4} \) as it is or as \( \sqrt[4]{x} \).
However, it seems like the option **\( \frac{1}{4} \sqrt{x} \)** could potentially be a misinterpretation; if it is meant to point towards a fourth root but is directly referencing a fraction.
If no option directly aligns with \( x^{1/4} \) or \( \sqrt[4]{x} \), it appears that either there is a misunderstanding in the options or they do not correspond to the correct simplification of the original expression \( \frac{x}{x^{3/4}} \).
Let me know if you have more context or if those are the only options!
