Let's break this down step by step:
1. James had a large bag of raisins, and he ate \(\frac{3}{4}\) of it over the weekend. This means that the portion he did not eat is:
\[
1 - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{4}
\]
2. Now, he has \(\frac{1}{4}\) of the bag of raisins left.
3. He decides to share this remaining \(\frac{1}{4}\) of the raisins with two friends, making a total of three people (including himself) who will share this remaining amount.
4. To find out how much each person will get, we divide the remaining raisins by three:
\[
\text{Each person's share} = \frac{1}{4} \div 3 = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{12}
\]
So, each of the friends gets \(\frac{1}{12}\) of the whole bag of raisins.
The correct answer is **E: twelfth**.
