1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$\frac{4x^{2}y^{-3} \cdot x^{4}y^{4}}{3xy^{2}}$$.
2. **Recall the rules:**
- When multiplying powers with the same base, add exponents: $$a^{m} \cdot a^{n} = a^{m+n}$$.
- When dividing powers with the same base, subtract exponents: $$\frac{a^{m}}{a^{n}} = a^{m-n}$$.
- Negative exponents mean reciprocal: $$a^{-m} = \frac{1}{a^{m}}$$.
3. **Multiply the numerator terms:**
$$4x^{2}y^{-3} \cdot x^{4}y^{4} = 4x^{2+4}y^{-3+4} = 4x^{6}y^{1} = 4x^{6}y$$
4. **Rewrite the expression:**
$$\frac{4x^{6}y}{3xy^{2}}$$
5. **Divide the powers with the same base:**
$$\frac{4x^{6}y^{1}}{3x^{1}y^{2}} = \frac{4}{3} x^{6-1} y^{1-2} = \frac{4}{3} x^{5} y^{-1}$$
6. **Rewrite negative exponent:**
$$\frac{4}{3} x^{5} \cdot \frac{1}{y} = \frac{4x^{5}}{3y}$$
7. **Final answer:**
$$\boxed{\frac{4x^{5}}{3y}}$$
This corresponds to option B).
