The answer is:  [B]:  7/9 .
_______________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________________
     Method 1:
________________________________________________________
7/12 ÷ 3/4 = 7/12   4/3 ;  The "4" cancels to a "1";
                                        and the "12" cancels to a "3";
                                        (since "12÷4 =3"; and "4÷4 =1" ;
___________________________________________________
    7/12 4/3 =  7/3 1/3 = 7/9 ; which is:  Answer choice: [B].
_____________________________________________________
   Method 2:
______________________________________________________
7/12 ÷ 3/4 = 7/12   4/3  = (74) / (123) = 28/36; which can be reduced by dividing EACH side by "4":
_____________________________________________________
 28/36 = (28÷4) / (36÷4) = 7/9 ; which is:  Answer choice: [B].
