    The answer is B

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Because A is incorrect because the - 8.9 is in absolute value which mean it will be an 8.9 which is greater than 5.6

    C is Incorrect because - 5.6 is not greater than the absolute value of - 8.9 which is 8.9, as you can see is greater than - 5.6

    D is incorrect because the absolute value of 5.6 is still 5.6 and the absolute value of - 8.9 is 8.9 which is greater that 5.6

    B is correct because the absolute value of - 5.6 is 5.6 which makes it less than the absolute value of - 8.9 because the absolute value is 8.9 which is greater than 5.6.
