Answer

C. 38


Step-by-step explanation

The absolute value of any digit is the magnitude or its size. The negative side is not considered.

It can also be defined as the actual magnitude of a numerical value or measurement, irrespective of its relation to other values.

It is represented as; /x/.

The absolute value of -38 is /-38/.

∴ /-38/ = 38
