Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Firstly, we must look at the absolute value symbol. This means that if d is positive, it must be a number greater than 3. If d is negative, the number must be less than -3 (for the absolute value to be greater than 3.)

This results in A and D being possible solutions. HOWEVER, we must look at the ">" symbol.

Notice how the symbol solely represents "Greater than", and not "Greater than OR equal to".

This means that the number line must have OPEN circles at -3 and 3. This will give you solution D.
