Answer:

C:  {4, -12/5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's actually solve |-4+5x|=16:  Divide all 3 terms by 5.  Then:  |-4/5 + x| = 16/5.

If we were to graph this, the center (on a number line) would be at -4/5.  Now if we add 16/5 to -4/5, we get 12/5, the larger solution; if we subtract 16/5 from -4/5, we get -20/5, the smaller solution, equivalent to -4.  Correct answer choice is C.
