Answer:

D.
\displaystyle No\:Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of an integer is NEVER negative, hence, your answer. ON THE OTHER HAND, these are the only exceptions:


\displaystyle -6 = -|3[-2]| \\ -6 = -|3[2]|

The negative absolute value of an integer however, IS negative.

I hope you are capable of differentiating between the two, and as always, I am joyous to assist anyone at any time.
