 D. All of these statements are true

C is true.

thurscon · Answer

Spacemanifestation is correct. 

A is incorrect because an absolute value of a positive number is always a positive number (all absolute value means is the number of "units" away from 0 something is on a theoretical number line - this is why the absolute value of a negative number is a positive number).

B is incorrect because non-integers can also have absolute values since they occupy a certain number of units away from 0.

D is incorrect per above.
