Solution

The correct option is A

always greater than zero


There are many cases here:
Case 1: If m and n are positive
So, m-n will be greater than zero
Case 2: if m is positive and n is negative
So, m-n will be positive
Case 3: if m is negative and n is negative. So, for 7m>7n​, the value of m should be greater than n

So, m-n will be positive.
