D) not a real number

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Absolute value is the distance a number is from 0 on a number line. In this case, the expression inside the absolute value bars is 11ebb63d_1bf0_374a_b851_bd49bea7fd1d_TB8475_11. Since absolute value can only be applied to real numbers, and this expression is not a recognizable real number format, it is not possible to evaluate the expression. Therefore, the answer is not a real number and is not listed as a choice. Since absolute value is the distance from a number to zero on the number line, the absolute value of any real number is always positive. Therefore, option D of "not a real number" is impossible. 
Option A is incorrect because it changes the third group of characters in the original expression from "b851" to "5551", which is not a valid change according to the given context. 
Option C is incorrect because it is unrelated to the given expression. 
The correct answer is option B, as the absolute value of any real number is always positive, and the absolute value of -9 is 9.
