Evan said that negative 56 – (positive)33 equals negative 23.

Is Evan's answer reasonable?

A.
Yes, because if you start at –56 on a number line, and then move 33 spaces to the right, you will get –23.

B.
No, 56 – 33 equals 23. Because you are subtracting a positive integer, the answer will also be a positive integer. The answer should be +23.

C.
No, because if you start at –56 on a number line, and then move 33 spaces to the left, you will get –89.
