We know $y=-3$; we need to check which of the given options is true.
Since $y$ is a negative integer, we must have $\mathrm{y}^{\text {odd <\mathrm{y}^{\text {even $.
Also as in case of negative integer higher the odd power lesser will be the value \& lesser the even power lesser is the value, so we get
\(y^3<y<y^2<y^4\)
Hence option (C) is correct.
