Solution

The correct option is D $- 96$
Write given integers in addition expression and we get:

$(+ 138) + (- 234)$

Subtract smaller integer $138$ from bigger integer $234$ as follows:
$234 - 138 = 96$

Since, the bigger integer $234$ is a negative integer, so the result should also be negative that is $- 96$

Hence, $138 - 234 = - 96$ .
