Hey,

first, I don't know how to read your formula.
Even worst: nobody knows.

Is it    or   ?

If you are novice in this site, please use parentheses properly to avoid ambiguity. 
Remember that writing formulas in this site requires special care.
In your textbook or in your teacher's assignment page the typography makes the formulas clear without using parentheses.
But it is not so in this site.


Next, I will assume that you are asking about  .   ( You can write it as  (x-y)/x. )

Then everything is very clear and very simple.

 =  =  =  = .

Answer.   =  = .  Option B).
