none of these
Explanation
For rational number, subtraction is not commutative.
i.e. $$p - q \neq q - p$$.
$$\therefore \dfrac {a}{b} - \dfrac {c}{d} = \dfrac {c}{d} - \dfrac {a}{b}$$ is not true.
Thus, it is an incorrect statement.

Explanation
Multiplication and addition are associative for rational numbers because when any three rational numbers are added or multiplied, the result so obtained will remain the same irrespective of the change in their order. i.e. $$a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c$$
$$a\times (b\times c) = (a\times b)\times c$$.

Addition and division
Explanation
Let us add three rational numbers $$\dfrac{-7}{5},\ \dfrac{2}{-11}$$ and $$\dfrac{-13}{25}$$
Then we know $$ \displaystyle \frac{-7}{5} + \left(\displaystyle \frac{2}{-11} + \frac{-13}{25} \right) = \left(\displaystyle \dfrac{-7}{5} + \frac{2}{-11} \right) + \frac{-13}{25}$$
So we can say that addition is associative for rational numbers.
Now let us multiply three rational numbers $$\dfrac 16,\ 6, \ \dfrac 43$$
Then we get $$\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}\times \left ( 6 \times\frac{4}{3} \right )= \left ( \frac{1}{3} \times 6\right )\times \frac{4}{3}$$
So we can say that multiplication is associative for rational numbers.
But when we divide three rational numbers in an order, the result so obtained will change if the order is changed.
For example: $$(81\div 9)\div 3\ne $$ $$81\div(9\div 3)$$
And when we subtract three rational numbers, the result changes when we change the order of subtraction
For example: $$5-(3-9)\ne (5-3)-2$$
Therefore, subtraction and division are not associative for rational numbers.

Explanation
In mathematics, the additive inverse of a number is the number that, when added to a, yields zero.
This number is also known as the opposite (number), sign change, and negation.
For a real number, it reverses its sign: the opposite to a positive number is negative, and the opposite to a negative number is positive.
The given rational number is $$\dfrac {-3}{11}$$ and its negative is $$-\left (\dfrac {-3}{11}\right ) = \dfrac {3}{11}$$. Thus, the additive inverse of $$\dfrac {-3}{11}$$ is $$\dfrac {3}{11}$$.

Since the given rational number is $$\dfrac {-1}{3}$$, its negative is $$-\left (\dfrac {-1}{3}\right ) = \dfrac {1}{3}$$
Now, $$\dfrac {-1}{3} + \dfrac {1}{3} = 0$$. Hence, $$\dfrac {1}{3}$$ should be added to $$\dfrac {-1}{3}$$ to get the sum as $$0$$.
