Solution

The correct option is C $5$
Here, we can see that signs of both integers are different.

Step 1: Write absolute value of both integers
|11| = 11
|-6| = 6

Step 2: Subtract the absolute values $11 - 6 = 5$

Step 3: Put the original sign of the larger number to the answer.

$∵$ In the given question, $11$ is the larger number and original sign of $11$ is positive,
Put positive sign to the difference i.e. $11 + (- 6) = 5$
