Answer:

The answer is option A

Explanation:

The problem has 4 options, each of them showing a Real Number straight line. In every line we see one part with black colour, one part with blue colour and a blue dot (empty or full).

To solve the problem we have to know that in a straight line of Real Numbers, if we want to colour a set of numbers greater than a specific number, we will have to colour the line begining in that number, and all the way to the right (to infinity). Besides, as we need a set greater than that number, that number shouldn't be included in the set (this is noted with an empty dot, with the same colour of the coloured line).

In the options, the empty dot means that the number is not included, so the option A has the blue line to the right, and has a blue dot over 119 that is empty.

Option A is the correct answer.
