Hello,

The correct answer is C) Negative, because the product (-4)(6) is negative and the product (9)(3) is positive, and the product of a negative number and a positive number is negative.

Hope this helps!!!!

The answer is C because (-4)(6)= -24
(9)(3)= 27
The answer is -648 so it can't be A or B.
It cannot be D because it says the product of two negative numbers is a negative number. Also, (9)(3) is positive 27, not negative. Therefore, C is the correct answer.
