Hi there!

»»————- ★ ————-««

I believe your answer is:

Option D

Here’s why:

⸻⸻⸻⸻


\boxed{\text{Option A:}}\\\\\rightarrow |-4.5| = 4.5\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{4.5=4.5}\\\\\\\boxed{\text{Option B:}}\\\\\rightarrow |0|< |-45|\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{0 < 45}\\\\\\\boxed{\text{Option C:}}\\\\\rightarrow |45| > 0\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{45 > 0}\\\\\\\boxed{\text{Option D:}}\\\\\rightarrow |4.5| > |-45|\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{4.5>45}\\\\\text{\textbf{This is a contradiction.} Option D is not true.}}

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
