A and B are very similar. Take a number line, and draw a line from -2 to 3. The endpoints are denoted with a hollow circle if it is a strict inequality, or a full circle if you include the endpoint. For example, A) -2 < x <= 3, you would draw a hollow circle around -2, a full circle around 3, and a line signifying all real numbers between -2 and 3.

C and D are, well, epic failures. You cannot have a compound inequality satisfying -2 is greater than x which is greater than 3.
