    The oposite of a number is located on the oposite side of the 0 on the number line

    the oposite of a number is the negative of a number, if the number is already negative, double negative cancels to make positive

    so

    oposite of - 12 is + 12

    A. false, they are on oposite sides

    B. false, it is 12, not - 1/12 (just fyi, later you will learn that - 1/12 is the reciprocal of - 12 but that doesn't matter right now)

    C. correct, - 12 is 12 units behind 0, 12 is 12 units after 12

    D. what, are they joking, wrong

    C is the right answer
