Answer:

C. The meter will display a negative sign.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use an analog voltmeter and you measure voltage with reverse polarity you will damage it. But in this case we are using a digital multimeter. This kind of multimeter is designed to be able to deal with positive and negative voltages
