Use some thinking to answer the following question. If x is a positive odd integer and y is a negative even integer, which of the following must be true?\nOptions:\n(A) x^3 + y is a positive odd integer\n(B) x^2 + y^2 is a negative odd integer\n(C) x^0 + y^11 is a negative odd integer\n(D) x + y is a positive odd integer\n(E) x + y is a negative odd integer

Anything power 0 is always 1 and given that Y is even and negative, then\n1 + (-2) will be negative with odd power values for Y. So the final answer is (C).
