A. \(\frac{u}{3} < -v\)
B. \(\frac{u}{v} > -3\)
C. \(\sqrt{\frac{u}{-v}} < \sqrt{3}\)

A quick glance through all the option, we will see that
option D which is \(u + 3v > 0\) is not possible, so might be the answer, however lets look at the remaing option
option A :: \(\frac{u}{3} < -v\) - This is possible if we divide by 3 on both sides
Option B:: \(\frac{u}{v} > -3\) - This is possible, since -3v > 0 so v < 0
Option C:: \(\sqrt{\frac{u}{-v}} < \sqrt{3}\) - It is possible by dividing \(\sqrt{-v}\) on both sides
Option E:: \(u < -3v\) - It is also possible by squaring on both sides.

here, u>0, and -3v>0
So, u+(-3v)>0
U-3v >0
But, option D is not as above . So, D.
So, u+(-3v)>0
U-3v >0
But, option D is not as above . So, D.
