Explanation
Correct answer: D.
Choice D is correct. The solutions to the given system of inequalities is the set of all ordered pairs that satisfy both inequalities in the system. For an ordered pair to satisfy the inequality , the value of the ordered pair's -coordinate must be less than or equal to the value of the ordered pair's -coordinate. This is true of the ordered pair , because . To satisfy the inequality , the value of the ordered pair's -coordinate must be less than or equal to the value of the additive inverse of the ordered pair's -coordinate. This is also true of the ordered pair . Because is its own additive inverse, . Therefore, the ordered pair is a solution to the given system of inequalities.

Why the other choices are wrong
Choice A
Choice A is incorrect. This ordered pair satisfies only the inequality in the given system, not both inequalities.
Choice B
Choice B is incorrect. This ordered pair satisfies only the inequality in the system, not both inequalities.
Choice C
Choice C is incorrect. This ordered pair satisfies neither inequality.
