In this question, we're trying to find the inequality that is true.

To find your answer, we can convert the numbers in the absolute value:

|−5| < 4:

5 < 4 false

|−4| < |−5|:

4 < 5 true

|−5| < |4|

5 < 4 false

|−4| < −5

4 < -5 false

The only true inequality here would be |−4| < |−5|, since it works with the inequality sign.

Answer:

|−4| < |−5|
