D represents the only number that has a negative numerator and negative denominator and thus has a positive sign.

Hello!

A negative number divided by a negative number is a positive number. If our problem contains an odd number of negatives, it is negative.

Therefore, our correct answer is D. -3/-2 (which is 6).

I hope this helps!
