remember that when you multiply an inequality by a negative number, flip the direction of the inequaility sign
example/reasoning2>1 is truemuliply both sides by -1-2>-1 is false, but -2<-1 is true

-n>4all options seems to have multiplied both sides by -1so flip the directionn<-4

since some of the options are the same, I think you may have wanted an underline under one or more of the inequaility signs
so if supposed to be was -n>4, pick the option that says N<-4if it was supposed to be -n≥4, pick the option that says N≤-4

The law of inequalities is that whenever you multiply or divide a side by a negative number, the inequality sign flips to the opposite direction.
Meaning that,

-n>4
Divide or multiply both sides by -1. Since we did this the inequality sign flips

N<-4

So the final answer is N<-4 or D
