Answer:      

Option B.  The sum is zero              

Option E.  The addends are the same number with opposite signs

Step-by-step explanation:              

we know that                      

The additive inverse of a number is the opposite of that number, that is, the additive inverse of a number n is -n.      

The sum of a number and its additive inverse is always zero, that is,    

n + (-n) = 0  

therefore              

The sum is zero                

The addends are the same number with opposite signs
