A.

-40

B.

C.

Let's see what we're working with here

-5 (2) = - 10, right?

So, - 10 (4) = - 40, right

A. - 40 would most likely be your answer

B.-80 wouldn't be your answer but it is close, since it's a negative number

C. 40 wouldn't be your answer because it's not asking you what the additive inverse of the number

D. 80 wouldn't be your answer because it's the additive inverse of (-80)

So, your answer would be, - 40 (option A)
