Answer:

The determinant of matrix is -203            

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the matrix of order 3 i.e

[tex]A=\begin{bmatrix}-4&-4&-3\\ 3&3&-5\\ -5&2&-5 \end{bmatrix}[/tex]

we have to find the determinant of matrix A

[tex]|A|=-4(-5(3)-(-5)(2))-3((-4)(-5)-(-3)(2))+(-5)((-5)(-4)-(-3)(3))\\\\|A|=-4(-15+10)-3(20+6)-5(20+9)\\\\|A|=-4(-5)-3(26)-5(29)\\\\|A|=20-78-145\\\\|A|=-203[/tex]

Hence, the determinant of matrix is -203

Option A is correct.
