There are 6 minus symbol in the diagram.

From that expression 1 minus symbol is cancelled.

To find which expression represents this situation:

Option A: –6 – (–1)

Total number of minus = –6

From this cancel one minus: –6 – (–1)

–6 – (–1) = –6 + 1 = –5

So, remaining minus are –5.

So, this is not correct answer.

Option D: –5 –1
