A
-2 = -3 - 5, -2 = -8 is wrong which means A is not the answer

B
-2 = -3 -5, -2 = -8 is wrong which means B is not the answer

C
-8 = -3 - 5, -8 = -8
-5 = 0 - 5, -5 = -5
2 = 3 - 5, 2 = -2 is wrong so C is not the answer

D
-8 = -3 -5, -8 = -8
-5 = 0 - 5, -5 = -5
-2 = 3 - 5, -2 = -2
All are correct so D is the answer
