Explanation:

We can find the modulus/absolute value from the point -8.95 to each of the other points:

|(-9) - (-8.95)| = 0.05.

|(-8) - (-8.95)| = 0.95.

|(-7) - (-8.95)| = 1.95.

So what this tell us is that the point -8.95 is furthest away from -7 and is closest to -9. It is also much closer to -9 than to -8. (compare 0.05 with 0.95)

Hence the best answer is Point A. (A)
