Which statement about this difference is true?

0.31−(-5/9)

A) It is greater than 3 because 3/1 equals 3, and 3+5/9 is greater than 3.

B) It is less than 0 because a greater number is being subtracted from a lesser number.

C) It is less than 1 because 0.31+5/9 is less than 1/3+2/3.

D) It equals 5/9 because 0.31 rounded to the nearest whole number is 0, and 0−(-5/9)=0+5/9


NOTE-if their is a dash between two numbers it means it's a fraction
