(Choice C)   None of the above
C
None of the above

Let's evaluate each of the expressions to see which ones are equivalent to \(-44 + 40\).

### Given Expression:
\[-44 + 40\]

Calculate:
\[-44 + 40 = -4\]

### Option A: 
\[-4(11 - 10)\]

Evaluate inside the parentheses first:
\[11 - 10 = 1\]

Now multiply:
\[-4(1) = -4\]

This is equivalent to \(-44 + 40\).

### Option B:
\[2(-22 + 20)\]

Evaluate inside the parentheses first:
\[-22 + 20 = -2\]

Now multiply:
\[2(-2) = -4\]

This is also equivalent to \(-44 + 40\).

### Option C: 
"None of the above"

This option is incorrect since both Options A and B are equivalent to \(-44 + 40\).

### Conclusion:
Both Option A and Option B are correct. 

**Answer:** Both Option A and Option B are correct.
