Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
To simplify this expression, we need to get rid of the negative exponent in the numerator and the denominator. We can do this by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by $y$ to get: $\frac{(7y^2-1)}{(3y-y^3)}$. Then, we can factor out a $y^2-1$ from the numerator and a $1-y^2$ from the denominator to get $\frac{y(7y^2-1)}{(3-y)(1+y)(1-y)}$. Finally, we can simplify by canceling out the $(1-y)$ term in the denominator with the $y-1$ term in the numerator, leaving us with $\frac{y(7y^2-1)}{3-y^2}$, which is equivalent to choice A.
