Answer: A) Distance from zero

Explanation: The absolute value is always a positive number except for zero, as zero is neither positive or negative. Absolute value refers to the distance of a number from zero, regardless of direction. ... Use this term to refer to the distance of a point or number from the origin (zero) of a number line.

Hope this helped ;p
