Answer:

B. 16/11

Explanation:

16/11 as a mixed number is 1 6/11. This is closest to 1 1/2 on the number line. The other negative numbers (-7/3, -5/5) are on the negative end on the spectrum so they are immediately eliminated. 3/7 doesn't have a whole number and therefore is not as close as 16/11 is to the point.
