I had the same question on my quiz and I believe it is -8 plus -8 plus -8 plus -8. Because that is equal to 4 times -8 or -32. Because he is descending so it has to be negative 8. And he is stopping 4 times every time he goes down 8. 

Answer:

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that each time Yan descends 4 rungs on the ladder.

On each time the number of ladder rungs that Yan climbed is (-4), where negative sign represent descends.

He made eight stops with no extra steps.

[tex](-4)\times 8=-32[/tex]

It can also defined as

[tex](-8)+(-8)+(-8)+(-8)=-32[/tex]

Therefore the correct option is D.
