ANSWER

[tex]A. \: \frac{xz}{y} [/tex]

EXPLANATION

If quantity x varies directly with y and inversely with z.

The we can write the mathematical statement,

[tex]x\propto \frac{y}{z} [/tex]

We introduce the constant of proportionality k, to obtain,

[tex]x = \frac{ky}{z} [/tex]

We now solve for k, by multiplying through by

[tex] \frac{z}{y} [/tex]

This implies that,

[tex] \frac{xz}{y} = k[/tex]

The correct choice is A.
