Since the given rational expressions have different denominators, they need to be converted to a common denominator before adding. The least common denominator of 4e and 3e is 12e. 
So, we need to multiply the first expression by 3/3 and the second expression by 4/4 to get:

(3/3)(4e/3e) + (4/4)(5e/4e) = 12e/9e + 20e/16e

Simplifying this expression by finding a common denominator of 144e, we get:
(16 * 12e + 9 * 20e)/(16 * 9e) = 192e/144e = 4/3

Therefore, the answer is C, 11ec1e8e_2c04_9636_be9b_97f5aa4d56fc_TBX8967_11.
