Answer:
C. C,D,A,B,E
Step-by-step explanation:
The first set of coordinates, (-3, 4) and (3, 4) are on the horizontal line y=4. The distance between them is the difference of their x-values: 3 -(-3) = 6. This is the third distance on the list, so 'A' will be 3rd in the sequence of matching.
Choices A and C have 'A' listed 3rd.
__
The second set of coordinates (-5, 3) and (-5, 11) are on the vertical line x=-5. The distance between them is the difference of their y-values: 11 -3 = 8. This is the 4th distance on the list, so 'B' will be 4th in the sequence of matching.
Choice C has 'B' listed 4th.
The appropriate sequence of matching is ...
C, D, A, B, E

Additional comment
In this problem, as in most multiple-choice problems, it isn't necessary to find the complete answer. It is only necessary to find enough of the answer to determine the correct choice among those offered. You do need to know enough about how to work the problem to be able to tell a correct choice from an incorrect one. Knowing the required relationships is useful; slogging through the arithmetic is often not necessary.
