much simpler way..
We know |x|>= 0
Simplify the question is y-z>=0?
st1- y-z=-x (Insuff, as we do not know whether x is +ve or -ve)
st2- x < 0 (Insuff, as no info on y and z)
Now i leave it up to you to decide what u choose C or E.. knowing that -x is +ve and hence y-z is +ve C

Why not C...
In number property as we know for a proper fractions adding same numbers, the value increases, and subtracting decrease..
its clearly given here that its a proper fraction (a LT b) and y is -ve and hence the value should decrease..
RON/IAN/Mitch/Sturat can some one correct me..
