On the number line, the distance between negative 11 and positive 7 is 18 units.

Choice A:  The absolute value of (-11 - 7) = absolute value of (-18) = 18.

Choice C:  The absolute value of [ 7 - (-11) ] = absolute value of (7+11) = 18.

'A' and 'C' are both the same number, and it's the correct answer to the question.
