The inequality which is true.
Solution:
Consider the number line as shown in the below figure.
We know that, on a line as we go to the left direction, the number become smaller and as we go right, the numbers become larger.
From the number line it is clear that -1.5 is on the left side of 0.5. So,
Hence, option A is incorrect.
-0.5 is on the left side of 0. So,
Hence, option B is incorrect.
-1.5 is on the left side of -0.5. So,
Hence, option C is correct.
