Answer:

C. None of the above

Explanation:

You want an number line representation of the expression |-2/3 -5/3|.

Value

The expression is evaluated by performing the sum -2/3-5/3, then finding its absolute value. The sum is -7/3, and its absolute value is 7/3.

None of the number line diagrams shows the sum or its absolute value.

__

Additional comment

The sum would be shown by moving from 0 to -2/3, then moving an additional -5/3 to the point -7/3. The absolute value would reflect that across the 0 point to +7/3.
