Answer:

I believe the answer is D, 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's why. When finding the difference between two numbers, you must use absolute values. The absolute value of -8 is 8, since it is 8 units AWAY from 0. Apply the same thing to seven and then add them up.

If you take 8+7 (both absolute values), you get 15.
