Solution

The correct option is B 3
2 - 5 = -3
|2 - 5| = |-3| = Absolue value of -3
Absolute value of a number describes its 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 regardless of its sign.
|2 - 5| = |-3| = 3
