To solve the equation \(-7r - 3 = -4 + 4r\), we can follow these steps:

1. **Move all terms involving \(r\) to one side of the equation.** We can add \(7r\) to both sides:

\[
-7r + 7r - 3 = -4 + 4r + 7r
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
-3 = -4 + 11r
\]

2. **Next, add 4 to both sides to isolate terms with \(r\):**

\[
-3 + 4 = 11r
\]

Which simplifies to:

\[
1 = 11r
\]

3. **Now, divide both sides by 11 to solve for \(r\):**

\[
r = \frac{1}{11}
\]

So the solution is \(r = \frac{1}{11}\).

The answer is **A. one eleventh**.
