The given set of inequality is expressed as

- 11 > 1 + a

The first step is to subtract 1 from both sides of the inequality. It becomes

- 11 - 1 > 1 - 1 + a

- 12 > a

The meaning is '- 12 is greater than a'

This also mean that 'a is lesser than - 12'

the expression would be

a < - 12

Thus, the correct option is A
