Let's break down and solve the given mathematical expression from the image.

The expression provided is:

\[
\frac{\frac{2}{5} + \frac{2}{3}}{\frac{3}{3} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{5}} + \frac{1}{3}
\]

### Step 1: Simplify the numerator
The numerator of the fraction is:

\[
\frac{2}{5} + \frac{2}{3}
\]

To add these two fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common denominator (LCD) of 5 and 3 is 15. Convert each fraction:

\[
\frac{2}{5} = \frac{6}{15}, \quad \frac{2}{3} = \frac{10}{15}
\]

Now, add the fractions:

\[
\frac{6}{15} + \frac{10}{15} = \frac{16}{15}
\]

### Step 2: Simplify the denominator
The denominator of the fraction is:

\[
\frac{3}{3} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{5}
\]

We know that \(\frac{3}{3} = 1\). So the expression becomes:

\[
1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{5}
\]

Now, find the LCD of 2 and 5, which is 10. Convert the fractions:

\[
\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{10}, \quad \frac{2}{5} = \frac{4}{10}
\]

Now, add them:

\[
1 + \frac{5}{10} + \frac{4}{10} = 1 + \frac{9}{10} = \frac{19}{10}
\]

### Step 3: Combine the simplified numerator and denominator
Now we have:

\[
\frac{\frac{16}{15}}{\frac{19}{10}}
\]

To divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal of the denominator:

\[
\frac{16}{15} \times \frac{10}{19} = \frac{160}{285}
\]

Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5:

\[
\frac{160 \div 5}{285 \div 5} = \frac{32}{57}
\]

### Step 4: Add \(\frac{1}{3}\)
Now we need to add \(\frac{32}{57} + \frac{1}{3}\). To do this, find the LCD of 57 and 3, which is 57. Convert the fractions:

\[
\frac{1}{3} = \frac{19}{57}
\]

Now, add the fractions:

\[
\frac{32}{57} + \frac{19}{57} = \frac{51}{57}
\]

Simplify the fraction:

\[
\frac{51}{57} = \frac{51 \div 3}{57 \div 3} = \frac{17}{19}
\]

### Final Answer:
The value of the expression is \(\frac{17}{19}\).

However, none of the provided options match \(\frac{17}{19}\). It seems the options might not have the correct answer listed.
