Answer:

0. See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Grayson is playing a game in which the objective is to obtain a zero, by adding together the points scored in each round.

For rounds 1 to 4,

4 + 7 + 1 + -12  =  12 - 12  = 0

The summation of points in the first four rounds already results to a zero.

Let us see if the addition of any of the three options for round 5 will still result in a zero!

0 + -24  =  -24

0 + -11    =  -11

0 +  12    =  12

So all the options here are wrong. The only option that would have been correct is 0.

Since   4 + 7 + 1 + -12 + 0  = 0

Maybe the complete question has 0 as the fourth option. Use that.
