Solution

The correct option is D 15
Total number of balloons with Nikita initially = 20

Number of balloons with Nikita after giving some balloons to her younger sister = 5

Let the number of balloons that Nikita gave to her younger sister = x
So, 20 - x = 5
20 - 5 = x
x = 15
Hence, Nikita gave 15 balloons to her younger sister.
