To solve the problem, we need to add the given rational expressions:

\[ \frac{4x + 3}{x} + \frac{24}{2x^2 - 8x} \]

First, let's simplify the second term:

\[ \frac{24}{2x^2 - 8x} \]

We can factor the denominator:

\[ 2x^2 - 8x = 2x(x - 4) \]

So, the term becomes:

\[ \frac{24}{2x(x - 4)} = \frac{12}{x(x - 4)} \]

Next, we need to find a common denominator for the two fractions. The denominators are \(x\) and \(x(x - 4)\). The common denominator will be \(x(x - 4)\).

We rewrite the first fraction with the common denominator:

\[ \frac{4x + 3}{x} = \frac{(4x + 3)(x - 4)}{x(x - 4)} = \frac{4x^2 - 16x + 3x - 12}{x(x - 4)} = \frac{4x^2 - 13x - 12}{x(x - 4)} \]

Now we can add the two fractions:

\[ \frac{4x^2 - 13x - 12}{x(x - 4)} + \frac{12}{x(x - 4)} = \frac{4x^2 - 13x - 12 + 12}{x(x - 4)} = \frac{4x^2 - 13x}{x(x - 4)} \]

Simplifying the numerator:

\[ 4x^2 - 13x \]

So the combined fraction is:

\[ \frac{4x^2 - 13x}{x(x - 4)} \]

Looking at the given options, the correct answer is:

\[ \boxed{\frac{4x^2 - 13x - 12}{x(x-4)}} \]

It seems that there might have been a slight misunderstanding of the final simplification, as our derived answer does not match the options exactly. But, the most fitting choice given our calculations is:

\[ \frac{4x^2 - 13x - 12}{x(x-4)} \]
