Answer:

A) (-6, -4)

Explanation:

You want to identify the interval over which the average rate of change of h(x) is negative given the graph of h(x).

Average rate of change

The average rate of change is the slope of the line segment joining the points at the ends of the interval. The attachment shows those line segments.

The identified segment, for the interval (-6, -4), has a negative slope.

H(x) has a negative average rate of change on the interval (-6, -4), choice A.
