Answer:

C : None of the above

Explanation:

A : -2+(-2) = 0 False

-2+(-2) = -4

A negative plus a negative is actually a negative. When adding signed numbers, it is useful to think of positive numbers as gains and negative numbers as losses.

B : 2-(-2) = 0 False

2-(-2) = 4

Because there is subtraction sign so if subtraction sign added to negative sign it makes positive from 2-(-2) it will be 2+2
