A. When you add to negative numbers, it is always negative. A positive + a positive is positive. In D, the answer is always 0. 1 + - 1 is 0. In C, it varies. The bigger number not including the negative sign is the sign the number has. For example, - 6 + 5 = - 1. 6 is bigger than 5. You subtract the smaller number from the bigger number and that is the answer. You would then tack on the negative sign because it is - 6, and 6 is bigger than 5.
