The given expression can be rewritten as (11ebb7d6_6e05_0870_ad4c_b70a1e4f6f6a)/(TB8285_11), which upon simplification becomes (11ebb7d6_6e05_2f83_ad4c_e5db622317d9)/(TB8285_11) after dividing both numerator and denominator by their common factor of 17. Therefore, the correct answer is option C. To add or subtract fractions, they must have a common denominator. In this case, the denominators are already the same (both are TB8285_11). To add the fractions, simply add the numerators (11ebb7d6_6e05_0870_ad4c_b70a1e4f6f6a + 11 = 11ebb7d6_6e05_0871_ad4c_111e232dea9b) and keep the same denominator (TB8285_11). However, the fraction can be reduced to lowest terms by simplifying the numerator and denominator. In this case, there are no common factors between the numerator and denominator that can be cancelled out, so the fraction is already in lowest terms. Therefore, the answer is C.
