To find the point E, we need to determine the distance between C and D, which is 16 units (7 - (-9)).

Next, we need to find a point that is one-fourth of the distance from C to D.

Since 16 units divided by 4 is 4, the point E is located 4 units away from C towards D.

Therefore, the point E is at -9 + 4 = -5.

So the answer is B. -5.
