To divide fractions, you need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

The reciprocal of 2/9 is 9/2, so the division problem becomes:

-1/6 * 9/2

Next, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

-1 * 9 = -9

6 * 2 = 12

So, the answer is -9/12.

To simplify the fraction, divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:

-9/12 ÷ 3 = -9/4

Therefore, the simplified answer is -9/4.

The correct option is:

C) -9/4
