Answer:

B). 5+c

Explanation:

we need to distribute -5-c to -1

we can do it as its written or we can flip it around and still get the same answer. When we distribute we multiply the varable or number out parenthesis with the ones in the paretesis

so -5 *-1=5

-c*-1=c

these two are positive now so they are no longer being subtracted from each other...

your answer is

B). 5+c
