Which number line shows the solution to −3 − (−1)?

A number line is shown from negative 5 to 0 to positive 5. There are increments of 1 on either side of the number line. All the numbers are labeled on either side of the number line. An arrow pointing from 0 to negative 3 is shown. Above this, another arrow pointing from negative 3 to negative 4 is shown. A vertical bar is shown at the tip of the arrowhead of the top arrow.

It's the last option

-4 − (-1) = -3

All you have to do is start at 0 got to -4 then minus one which takes it to -3.
