Final answer:

The statement is incorrect, marked as "b. Fib."

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct order from greatest to least for the numbers 120, 11.75, 189, and 10-16 should be:

189, 120, 11.75, 10-16.

The explanation is based on numerical values: 189 is the largest, followed by 120, then 11.75, and finally 10-16 (which could mean a negative number close to -16 or between 10 and 16, but the exact value isn't clear).

Therefore, the human number arrangement provided in the statement does not align with the correct order from greatest to least, rendering the statement false ("b. Fib").
