Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that P(x) is a polynomial.

We also know that:

$P(-5)=-2\text{ and } P(5)=-1$

And we want to find the remainder when P(x) is divided by (x+5).

To do so, we can use the Polynomial Remainder Theorem.

The theorem states that if a polynomial f(x) is divided by (x-a), then the remainder will be f(a).

So, we are dividing our polynomial P(x) by (x+5).

(x+5) is the same as (x-(-5)).

Therefore, our remainder will be the same as P(-5).

As given, P(-5) is -2.

Therefore, our remainder is -2.

Our answer is choice D.
