Answer: D. $\dfrac5{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction of granola bar Owen ate = $\dfrac13$

Fraction of bar Bella ate = $\dfrac14$

Whole bar is considered as 1.

Part of bar left uneaten = $1-\dfrac13-\dfrac14=\dfrac{12-4-3}{12}$

$=\dfrac{5}{12}$

Owen and Bella left $\dfrac5{12}$ of the bar uneaten.

Hence, the correct option is D. $\dfrac5{12}$
