Let's check every choices :

A. absolute value disregards the sign of an integer.

7 > 3, this is true.

B. 7 is farther to the right on a number line, this is true since all positive numbers are to the right of 0.

C. 7 is farther from zero, 7 is 7 units to the right of 0 and -3 is 3 units to the left of 0, therefore, this is true.

D. -3 has a greater absolute value

The absolute value of -3 is 3 which is less than the absolute value of 7, therefore this is not true.

The answer is Choice D.
