Answer:

A

Explanation:

The correct divisor is 2. You change the sign of the real number without a variable when that real number is the divisor.

So - 2 becomes 2 and C and D are both incorrect.

The 0 comes between - 2 and 4 because the x term is 0x. (there isn't one).

That makes B wrong.

The answer is A
