let's remember the product of the signs

+ multiply by + is equal to +

+ multiply by - is equal to -

- multiply by + is equal to -

- multiply by - is equal to +

As you can see, if the signs are equal the result is a positive number,

and if the signs are not equal (+*-,or -*+) the result is a negative number.

so, for the question.

the product of a positive integer and a negative integer always will be negative

According to the answer options, all they are negative, except for the positive number

A)1

I really hope it helps you.

so, the answer is A) 1
