Solution

The correct option is B
-10

Any number which is to the left of another number on the number line is smaller than the given number.

So, among these numbers, we need to find a number smaller than -9.

On observing the given cases, we can observe that -10 is the only number which is less than -9, and therefore, it must lie to the left of -9 on the number line.

Therefore, 'D' is the required answer.
