Data Sufficiency

If xyz < 0, then at least one of x, y or z must be negative. Notice that means that the smallest of the three numbers is certainly negative, because negative numbers are always smaller than positive numbers.

Statement 1 tells us x < y, but maybe they're both positive and z is negative. Statement 2 tells us x < z, but maybe they're both positive and y is negative. But using both statements, we know x is the smallest of the three numbers, and we know the smallest of the three numbers must be negative, so the answer is C.
