When we simplify the Qt A
Qt A
\((x^{-3})^4 = x^{-12}\)
Now x can be zero as well as any value hence the relation between both the quantities will change accordingly.
Answer \(D\)

Good trap question
Option A: (x^2/x^5)^4 ----> x^ -3 * 4 ----> x^-12
Option B: x^12
No if x is an integer, then B > A, however if x is an fraction B will not always be > A
Hence option D is correct answer

Hence option D is correct answer
