• A. $0$
• B. $5$
• C. $-7$
• D. $-5$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$0$

Explanation for the correct option.

When the given integers are arranged in descending order:

$10,5,0,-5,-7$

When the given integers are arranged in ascending order:

$-7,-5,0,5,10$

Here when the numbers are arranged in both the orders $0$ always remains in the middle of the arrangement.

Hence, the correct option is $\mathrm{A}$.
