The correct representation of the given mathematical expression is (a - b / 2) / 2. This is because of the order of operations in Java, which follows the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction). In this case, we first need to perform the division operation (b / 2), then subtract the result from a, and finally divide the whole expression by 2. Option D correctly represents this order of operations. The other options do not take into account the proper order of operations and are therefore incorrect.
