The appropriate choice is ...
A. always
_____

Step-by-step explanation:
I used an app called DESMOS It Is usually super helpful!!!
3rd option: 
is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, we have to observe the number line
Observing the number line we can see that the number -0.5 or -1/2 is not included in the solution as the circle on -1/2 is empty. An empty circle means that the number is not included in the solution.
While on the other side we can see that 3 has a filled circle which means 3 is included in the solution
This means that the solution might be:
By comparing the observation and the answer choices we can conclude that
3rd option: is the correct answer

Here's the rule for working with these things:
There are 3 signs associated with a fraction:
=> the sign of the numerator
=> the sign of the denominator
=> the sign of the whole fraction; (if the fraction were in
parentheses, this sign would be written outside).
-- You can change any 2 of them without changing the value of the fraction.
-- Changing any 1 of them changes the effective sign.

Now, you said the fraction is negative.
So, let's start with the positive fraction, and see the different ways
that we could make it a negative fraction:
=> mark only the numerator negative
=> mark only the denominator negative
=> put parentheses around the fraction, and mark it negative outside
If you do any one of these things to a normal positive fraction,
it turns into a negative fraction.
Look at the choices you listed in the question:
-- in the numerator only ? Yes. That makes it a negative fraction.
-- in the denominator only ? Yes. That makes it a negative fraction.
-- both ? No. That makes it the same as a positive fraction.
-- put parentheses around the fraction, and a negative sign outside ?
Yes. This makes it a negative fraction.
-- it doesn't matter ? No. I hope you can see that it does matter.
Have I confused you ?
Is this more than you wanted to know ?
