The given answers are surely correct. But could we also ask what sense it makes a) to notate it b) to put the paranthesis as the left hand has nothing else to fo?

My guess (I cannot really see the notes for the upper voice): The same note is already played by your right hand. Both voices share the same note but it obviously only needs to be played once. That's why it is written in brackets for the left hand.

Your image is clipped, but I'm guessing the top note is two ledger lines below the staff?
That would make the right hand note A. The A in parenthesis is telling you it's the same note as the left hand top staff line. So it's an optional way to play it, using the left hand instead of the right.
