To divide two fractions, you need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Keep the first fraction as it is (-7/12).

Step 2: Flip the second fraction so that the divisor becomes the dividend and vice versa. So, -3/21 becomes 21/-3.

Step 3: Multiply the first fraction by the flipped second fraction. (-7/12) * (21/-3) = (-7 * 21) / (12 * -3).

Step 4: Simplify the resulting fraction by canceling out any common factors between the numerator and denominator.

Now, let's calculate the solution and simplify it:

(-7 * 21) = -147
(12 * -3) = -36

So, the simplified fraction is -147/-36.

To further simplify this fraction, divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). The GCD of 147 and 36 is 3.

-147 / 3 = -49
-36 / 3 = -12

The simplified fraction is -49/-12.

Finally, divide both the numerator and denominator by the negative sign to keep the fraction positive:

-49 / -12 = 49 / 12.

Therefore, the solution to -7/12 ÷ (-3/21) in simplest form is 49/12.

However, none of the given answer choices match this result, which means that none of the options A, B, C, or D represent the correct solution to the given problem.
