Answer:

Option D.

Explanation:

The given statement is


|x-4|<0.5

x-4 is difference between x and 4.

|x-4| distance from x because distance can not be negative.

Inequality sign "<" means less than.


|x-4|<0.5 represent all values of x whose distance from 4 is less than 0.5.

Therefore, the correct option is D.
