Answer:

None

Explanation:

Required

Select which is in ascending order

It should be noted that absolute values only return positives.

i.e.

∣a∣ or ∣∣a∣∣ or ∣-a∣ or ∣∣-a∣∣ = a

Having said that:

a.∣∣−514∣∣ , ∣∣−47∣∣ , ∣∣67∣∣

This gives: 514, 47, 67

This is not in ascending order

b.∣∣−23∣∣ , ∣∣−59∣∣ , ∣∣29∣∣

This gives: 23, 59, 29

This is not in ascending order

c.∣∣−38∣∣ , ∣∣34∣∣ , ∣∣−78∣∣

This gives: 38, 34, 78

This is not in ascending order

d.∣∣−110∣∣ , ∣∣−45∣∣ , ∣∣710∣∣

This gives: 110, 45, 710

This is not in ascending order

Hence, none of the list is in ascending order
