Answer

Choice D

Work Step by Step

Simplifying the expression, $ \dfrac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{16}} $ (Choice D), results to \begin{align*} & \dfrac{2}{4} \\\\&= \dfrac{1}{2} .\end{align*} Since $\dfrac{1}{2}\ne\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2}}$, then the expression that is not equal to $\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2}}$ is Choice D.
