The true inequality statement when d is 16 is : -d+ 2< -1 ( option D)

An inequality is a mathematical expression that states a relationship between two values, indicating that one is less than, greater than, less than or equal to, or greater than or equal to the other.

When the is 16

1. d + 2< -1

16+ 2 < -1

14< -1

Thus statement is not true

2. -d + 2> -1

-16 + 2 > -1

-14 > -1

This Statement is not true

3. -d + 2> 1

-16 + 2 > 1

-14 > 1

This statement is not true

4. -d + 2 < -1

-16 + 2 < -1

-14 < -1

This is the true inequality statement.
