Correct option is (C) \(\frac{x+3}{x+2}\)
\(\because\) (x - 4) is the HCF of p(x) and q(x).
\(\therefore\) (x - 4) is a common factor of p(x) and q(x).
\(\therefore\) x = 4 is a common zero of p(x) and q(x).
\(\therefore\) 16 - 4n - 12 = 0 \(\Rightarrow\) 4n = 16 - 12 = 4 \(\Rightarrow\) n = 1
and 16 - 4m - 8 = 0 \(\Rightarrow\) 4m = 16 - 8 = 8 \(\Rightarrow\) m = 2
\(\therefore\) p(x) = \(x^2-x-12\) = (x - 4) (x + 3)
and q(x) = \(x^2-2x-8\) = (x - 4) (x + 2)
\(\therefore\) \(\frac{p(x)}{q(x)}=\frac{(x-4)(x+3)}{(x-4)(x+2)}=\frac{x+3}{x+2}\)
