Answer: Option A.
<u>Explanation:</u>
This option has been chosen because the left of the 0 has been shaded and all the negative values lies on the left of zero. So -3.5 lies to the left of -0.5 and is in the shaded region of the number line.
In a number line, the figure -3.5 lies on the left side compared to the number -0.5 because the higher the value on the negative side of the number line, more left it would be on the number line.
