Answer:

C

The integer with the greatest value is the one that is farthest to the right hand side of the number line

Explanation:

The number line is constructed in a way such that we have a center point of zero with positive values to the right of the number line and negative values to the left of the number line.

Moving deeper right, we have an increase in positivity, with the more positive values rightwards, indicating an increase in the numbers to the right

Moving to the left, we have an increase in negativity, but a decrease in value. The negative numbers closer to zero are more positive and command higher values than the values which are farther from zero.

What these indicates is that the more rightward a number, the greater its value
