First, calculate the absolute value and multiplication: $|-39| = 39$ and $2(-5) = -10$. So, the numerator becomes $39 - (-10) = 39 + 10 = 49$. Next, calculate the denominator: $2^4 = 16$, so $16 - 9 = 7$. The expression simplifies to $\frac{49}{7} = 7$. Therefore, the correct answer is $-\frac{1}{7}$.
