• A. $-x$
• B. $x$
• C. $\frac{1}{x}$
• D. $-\frac{1}{x}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$x$

Explanation for the correct option.

• When two positive integers are multiplied then the result is positive.
• When two negative integers are multiplied then also the result is positive.
• When one positive and one negative integer is multiplied, then the result is negative.

Thus, from the above rule,

$-\left(-x\right)=x$

Hence the correct option is $\left(\mathrm{B}\right)$.
