Answer: The correct option is (C). =.

Step-by-step explanation: We are to choose a symbol from the set of symbols (<, >, =, ≠) to compare the following mathematical statement:


5+(-4)~~~~~?~~~~~14+(-13).

We have


5+(-4)=5-4=1,

and


14+(-13)=14-13=1.

Therefore, we have


1=1\\\\\Rightarrow 5+(-4)=14+(-13).

Thus, the complete statement is


5+(-4)=14+(-13).

Option (B) is CORRECT.
