<h3>Answer: B) Lake Eyre</h3>
=================================================================
Explanation:
This is because the value -16 is closest to 0, which represents sea level.
I recommend drawing out a vertical number line. Positive numbers are above 0, to indicate elevations above sea level. Negative numbers represent elevations below sea level.
The diagram is shown below. The diagram is not to scale because the red tickmarks shouldn't be equally spaced out; however, the order is correct, and that's all we need to worry about.
Note how -16 is the highest of the four choices, which makes it the closest to sea level. Also note how as you move further down, the negative values get larger in absolute value. It might be helpful to think of a thermometer.
