Elevator 1 is 12 feet above ground level, and Elevator 2 is 15 feet below the position of Elevator 1. We are given that Elevator 1 is "+12 feet" and Elevator 2 is "-15 feet" meaning 15 feet below that of Elevator 1 (because they said it was where it was at Elevator 1 ground level prior), so this should be your answer "A".
