The answer is A. The reason is because the closed circle represents that it is equal to as well as less than or greater than. It is pointing to the right which means it is greater than or equal to -3. It stops at 1 which is a closed circle which means it can only be greater than or less than. It doesn't keep going which means it must be less than -3. I hope this helps!

its letter A. Because a more than or equal to/less than or egual to sign is a shaded circle, and a less than/more than sign has to be a no-shaded circle. They both are pointing each other. That determines the direction of both numbers, which is going to be a less than sign
