• The expression $\frac{-16}{n}$ represents division of -16 by a variable $n$ (called "a number").
• "Quotient" refers to the result of division, so "the quotient of -16 and a number" matches.
• "Negative 16 divided by a number" directly describes the division operation in the expression.
• Other options describe subtraction or reversed division, which do not match.
