Note that is only possible if x is any real number less than or equal to zero:
x <= 0
Therefore, the answer is [D] Nonpositive.
Note nonpositive is different from negative numbers, as nonpositive includes zero, while Negative numbers does not include zero. (Zero is neither positive or negative number)
Hope this helps~ :)
