Answer: -19, -14, 5, 11 (choice A)

Step-by-step explanation:

A number line might help show why this is the answer. Stuff on the left is smaller than stuff on the right. For instance, -19 is to the left of -14, so that makes -19 to be smaller than -14.

As you can see, the positive values increase as you'd expect. The negative values are a bit strange in that there's this mirroring going on. In other words, the -19 and -14 are flipped if you were to think of them as 14 and 19.

The number line is shown below.
