The correct answer is C) -65 and 90. This is because the bigger the number on the negative side, the farther away it is from the whole numbers. The negative number FARTHEST AWAY from the whole numbers is -65, and the biggest WHOLE NUMBER is 90. This means, the correct answer is C) -65 and 90

Hope this helps!! :)
