B
negative 8 is greater than negative 10 because negative 8 is to the left of negative 10 on a number line.
C
negative 8 is greater than negative 10 because negative 8 is to the right of negative 10 on a number line.
D
negative 8 is less than negative 10 because negative 8 is to the left of negative 10 on a number line.

Explanation

On a number line, numbers farther to the right are greater. Negative 8 is to the right of negative 10, so −8 > −10. Therefore, the true statement is that negative 8 is greater than negative 10 because it is to the right.
