B.0
C.-172

Answer 1

A. -86

Explanation:

The absolute value is the distance a number has from zero.

Two numbers that are the same, except that one is positive and negative, will have the same absolute value.

So, -86 and 86 have the same absolute value of 86. This is because they are both 86 away from 0.

So, A is the correct answer.
