On a number line, negative numbers are on the left and positive numbers are on the right. Arrange these three numbers as they would appear on a number line: $$- \frac { 7 } { 8 } , - \frac { 3 } { 4 } , - \frac { 5 } { 4 }$$
A) $- \frac { 5 } { 4 } , - \frac { 7 } { 8 } , - \frac { 3 } { 4 }$
B) $- \frac { 7 } { 8 } , - \frac { 3 } { 4 } , - \frac { 5 } { 4 }$
C) $- \frac { 3 } { 4 } , - \frac { 7 } { 8 } , - \frac { 5 } { 4 }$
D) $- \frac { 5 } { 4 } , - \frac { 3 } { 4 } , - \frac { 7 } { 8 }$
E) $- \frac { 7 } { 8 } , - \frac { 5 } { 4 } , - \frac { 3 } { 4 }$
