Answer

Simplifying the expression :

(843÷22)=[(23)43÷122]=[24÷122]=124÷122=124×22=122=14.\Rightarrow \Big(8^{-\dfrac{4}{3}} ÷ 2^{-2}\Big) = \Big[(2^3)^{-\dfrac{4}{3}} ÷ \dfrac{1}{2^2}\Big] \\[1em] = \Big[2^{-4} ÷ \dfrac{1}{2^2}\Big] \\[1em] = \dfrac{1}{2^4} ÷ \dfrac{1}{2^2} \\[1em] = \dfrac{1}{2^4} \times 2^2 \\[1em] = \dfrac{1}{2^2} \\[1em] = \dfrac{1}{4}.

Hence, Option 1 is the correct option.
