I would like to give you an example that might help without completely giving away the answer.
In these other expressions, they've applied some fancy factoring techniques.
If we have \(\large\rm -a-b-c\)
We could factor the negative out of EVERY letter,
changing the operation between them to addition.
This is equivalent to the original expression,
\(\large\rm -(a+b+c)\)
Option A looks sort of like this, but it's missing the negative on the outside of the brackets. So A is probably not the correct answer.
We can factor the negative (or subtraction) out of b and c,
this will change the operation between b and c to addition.
This is equivalent to the original expression,
\(\large\rm -a-(b+c)\)

Does this other form look sort of like B or C?
Hmm
OpenStudy (jalil.h):
kind of
OpenStudy (jalil.h):

Why don't you take (-1) as a common factor from (-4.9) and (-2.6) as @zepdrix has illustrated?
