Answer:

B. –588 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are below the surface, the answer is recorded in negative units.

1. Pretend that the negative sign didn't exist. Subtract.

735 - 418 = 317

2. Add 271 to 317.

317 + 271 = 588 feet

3. Replace the numbers with negative signs.

So it is -588 feet
