The answer is A.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-|-4| can also be expressed as simply -4. Think of the value being inside the lines as positive, then apply whatever is outside the lines to it. |-2| can be expressed as positive 2. So, this list of values could be expressed as -8, -4, 0, 2, which is ordered from least to greatest.

remember every time its inside / / it means its always going to turn positive but if it has a negative side on the outside then its a negative
