Answer: the opposite of 15

Explanation:

Every number 'a' on number line is exactly opposite of '-a'.

So, 15 is the opposite of '-15'

Also absolute value for any number gives its positive value, soabsolute value of 15 = 15

Moving 0 to 15 gives the distance between zero and 15.

So all statements are true except "the opposite of 15".

Hence, the required statement is "the opposite of 15".
