Answer:

  D)  bx - a

Step-by-step explanation:

If a/b is a zero, then (x -a/b) is a factor of the polynomial. That is, the value x=a/b will make a factor of the polynomial be zero.

The above factor can be written without fractions by multiplying it by b:

  (bx -a) . . . . matches choice D

__

You can also choose the answer on the basis of which expression becomes zero when x=a/b.
