Solution

The correct option is C
$Z$

In the figure, starting
Initial value = $- 15$
Final value = $10$
Range $=Final-Initial$
$= 10 - (- 15) = 10 + 15 = 25$
Since, these two values are divided into $5$ equal parts,
Therefore, value represented by each value $= \frac{Range}{numberofparts}$
$= \frac{25}{5} = 5$
If we start moving on the right side from $- 15$ , then it will increase by value $5$ at each part -
Hence, $Z$ represents value $" 0 " .$
