Explanation:

Step1: Understand the relationship

Harvey has \( r \) red peppers. The number of orange peppers is one fourth of the number of red peppers.

Step2: Translate to an expression

To find one fourth of \( r \), we multiply \( r \) by \( \frac{1}{4} \), which is \( \frac{1}{4} \times r=\frac{r}{4} \).

Answer:

D. \(\frac{r}{4}\)
