Answer:

B. x < -1

Explanation:

Hello!

Let's put them in order from greatest to least:


  • \{-2,-5,-9,-12\}

Given our possible inequalities, we need to find the inequality that contains all of these values.

The inequality that works is x < -1, as all values are less than -1.

Therefore, the answer is B. x < -1.
