Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of −8.46 and 5.31 means we need to add −8.46+5.31.

We know that,

|-8.46| > |5.31|

It means we subtract 8.46 - 5.31

At hundredth place, 6-1 = 5

At tenths place, 4-3 = 1

At ones place, 8-5 = 3

It would mean that, 8.46 - 5.31 = 3.15

8.46 has a negative sign. It means that the final answer will have negative sign i.e. −8.46+5.31 = -3.15

Hence, the correct option is (a) " Because |−8.46|>|5.31|, subtract |5.31| from |−8.46| and the sign is negative".
