A) x < 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have an open circle. Open circles are used for greater than signs (>) and less than signs (<).

Since we have an open circle, we can eliminate option C and option D.

Now, we look at the number line.

The point is at 9, and the line from the point is going towards the left (where the smaller numbers are.)

9 is greater than every number is going toward.

**Let x represent every number is going toward.**

Therefore, x < 9.
