Im not sure what it is but my best bet would be on A because the rest of them all say greater than 0 and you are trying to find the least.

Answer:

n < 0

Explanation:

Given that:

A number less than 0

Solve:
Since it saying that A number (n) is less than 0 it means it can't be greater.

From the following answer chioce:

[A] n=0

[B] n greater than n 0

[C] n greater then n with a underscore on the bottom 0

[D] n greater than 0 with a underscore 0​

We can see that [B], [C], and [D] all saying greater than. While only [A] has a equal sign to 0.

I'm guess that [A] meant to be put as n < 0. Since the other are saying greater than. But if not. None of the above are correct.

< → less than

> → greater than

A number less than 0 ⇒ n < 0
