Because absolute value means the number distance away from zero, [9] is 9.
Answer: C. 9
Xtra info: [-9] would just mean 9, that is how far it is away from 0.

Absolute value takes the distance of the number, not the direction. That means that the absolute value of a number would always be a positive.

|9| = 9

Answer: 9
