A) $\frac { 50 } { 32 }$
B) $\frac { 22 } { 31 }$
C) $\frac { 32 } { 22 }$

To perform the operation, find a common denominator for the fractions, which is 16. Convert each fraction: $\frac{1}{4} = \frac{4}{16}$, $\frac{7}{8} = \frac{14}{16}$, and $\frac{7}{16}$ remains the same. Then, $\frac{4}{16} + \frac{14}{16} - \frac{7}{16} = \frac{11}{16}$. Simplifying $\frac{11}{16}$ gives $\frac{22}{32}$.
