Answer 2

(C)7b

Explanation:

Given the expression:

`(7)/(3)ab-(7)/(6)b`

Let us factor the expression:

`=(7b)/(3)\left(a-(1)/(2)\right)`

Since we need the greatest common factor, we can rewrite the expression as:

`7b\left((1)/(3)a-(1)/(6)\right)`

Therefore, the greatest common factor is 7b.

The correct option is C.
