Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Because there negative numbers,you can think as if the way you compare them is the opposite of how you compare positive numbers,for example; with positive numbers 7 is less than 10,but in negatives its the opposite,so that means -7 is greater than -10 because -7 is closer to 0,the farther the number is from 0 in positives the greater it is,the farther the number is from 0 in negatives the smaller it is

Hope that helped you understand :)
