Question Analysis
This question assesses the student's ability to factor a multivariable polynomial with negative coefficients by grouping and extracting common factors, focusing on the handling of fractions and negative signs.

Key Concept Explanation
Factoring polynomials with multiple variables and negative coefficients requires careful attention to the signs and the extraction of the greatest common factor (GCF), including negative GCFs, and then grouping terms to further factor the polynomial.

Step-by-step Solution
1. Group terms:
2. Factor GCF from each group:
