答案 C

解析 When comparing these quantities, it is important to remember that a nonzero number and its negative have the same absolute value. For example, |-2| = |2| =2. Keeping this in mind, you can see that the positive integers 2, 3, 4, and 5 and the negative integers -2, -3, -4, and -5 all satisfy the inequalities 2|n|5, and that these are the only such integers. Thus, the set X consists of the integers -5, -4, -3, -2, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The greatest of these integers is 5, and its absolute value is 5. The least of these integers is -5, and its absolute value is also 5. Therefore, Quantity A is equal to Quantity B. The correct answer is Choice C.
