2 Answers: B and D

===================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Choice B is one answer because -2 and 2 are additive inverses that add to -2+2 = 0

Choice D is a similar story. We have -5+5 = 0

In general, if x is some number then -x is its additive inverse. So we can say x+(-x) = 0 or -x+x = 0. In short, additive inverses add to 0.
