Solution

The correct option is A

absolute value of positive and corresponding negative integer is same


Absolute value of a number describes the distance from 0 on the number line, without considering which direction from zero the number lies. In other words, the absolute value is just the number without regard to its sign.
Hence, the absolute value of -6 is 6
