1. The problem asks to express the division of two fractions as a single simplified fraction:
$$\frac{9pq}{2+q} \div \frac{3pq-6q}{4-q^2}$$
2. Recall the rule for dividing fractions: dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.
3. Rewrite the expression using multiplication by the reciprocal:
$$\frac{9pq}{2+q} \times \frac{4-q^2}{3pq-6q}$$
4. Factor where possible:
- Factor the numerator and denominator of the second fraction:
$$4 - q^2 = (2 - q)(2 + q)$$
$$3pq - 6q = 3q(p - 2)$$
5. Substitute the factored forms:
$$\frac{9pq}{2+q} \times \frac{(2 - q)(2 + q)}{3q(p - 2)}$$
6. Multiply the numerators and denominators:
$$\frac{9pq \times (2 - q)(2 + q)}{(2 + q) \times 3q(p - 2)}$$
7. Cancel common factors:
- Cancel $(2 + q)$ from numerator and denominator:
$$\frac{9pq \times \cancel{(2 + q)} (2 - q)}{\cancel{(2 + q)} \times 3q(p - 2)}$$
- Cancel $3q$ from numerator and denominator:
$$\frac{\cancel{3} \times 3 p \cancel{q} (2 - q)}{\cancel{3} \times \cancel{q} (p - 2)} = \frac{3p(2 - q)}{p - 2}$$
8. The simplified single fraction is:
$$\boxed{\frac{3p(2 - q)}{p - 2}}$$
This matches option D.
