Answer: A

Explanation:

Based on the graph, we know that it is negative if it is under the x-axis. It is also indicated by the negative labels.

A: correct

Looking at choice A, it says the interval is from -4<x<-2. This means we have to find x=-4 and x=-2. On the graph, that interval is below the x-axis, so it is negative.

B: incorrect

Looking at choice B, it says the interval is from -1<x<1. This means we have to find x=-1 and x=1. On the graph, that interval is above the x-axis, so it is positive, not negative.

C: incorrect

Looking at choice C, it says the interval is from 2<x<4. This means we have to find x=2 and x=4. On the graph, that interval is above the x-axis, so it is positive, not negative.

Therefore, A is the correct answer.
