To find which point on the number line represents \(-(-3)\), we first simplify the expression:
\[
-(-3) = 3
\]
Next, we look for the point that corresponds to \(3\) on the number line:
- The number line provided has the following points: \(-4\), \(A\), \(B\), blank, \(0\), blank, \(C\), \(D\), \(4\).
Since \(3\) is clearly between \(0\) and \(4\), we can conclude that the point corresponding to \(3\) must be point \(C\).
Thus, the point that represents \(-(-3)\) is:
**Point C**.
\[
-(-3) = 3
