Write the Expression as a Single Logarithm with Coefficient 1 $$a \neq 1 \text { and } b \neq 1$$

Multiple Choice

Write the expression as a single logarithm with coefficient 1. Assume all variables represent positive real numbers with $$a \neq 1 \text { and } b \neq 1$$
- $$\frac { 3 } { 4 } \log _ { a } \left( p ^ { 2 } q ^ { 8 } \right) - \frac { 1 } { 2 } \log _ { a } \left( p ^ { 5 } q ^ { 2 } \right)$$

A) $\log _ { a } \left( p ^ { 4 } q ^ { 7 } \right)$
B) $\log _ { a } \left( \frac { q ^ { 5 } } { p } \right)$
C) $\log _ { a } \left( \frac { 3 } { 4 } p ^ { 2 } q ^ { 8 } - \frac { 1 } { 2 } p ^ { 5 } q ^ { 2 } \right)$
D) $\log _ { a } \left( \frac { 3 q ^ { 6 } } { 2 p ^ { 3 } } \right)$
