A) Quantity A is greater.
B) Quantity B is greater.
C) The two quantities are equal.
D) The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
QUANTITY A: abc = (NEGATIVE)(NEGATIVE)(POSITIVE) = some POSITIVE number
QUANTITY B: c - d
Given: c < d
Subtract d from both sides to get: c - d < 0
In other words, c - d = some NEGATIVE number
Answer: A
