Hi,
From(1):
if b=-3, a=2, a^b = 1/8 (positive)
if b=-3, a=-2, a^b = -1/8 (negative)
Not sufficient
From(2):
if b=-3, a=2, a^b = 1/8 (positive)
if b=-3, a=-2, a^b = -1/8 (negative)
Not sufficient
Both(1) and (2):
if b=-3, a=2, a^b = 1/8 (positive)
if b=-3, a=-2, a^b = -1/8 (negative)
Not sufficient

Hence, E
Cheers!

a b=a=1 and b=-1,a=-2 gives different results. not sufficient.

b b=-1 a= +|- 1 gives different results too. not sufficient.

a+b
b=-1 and a= +|-2 gives different results too.
not sufficient.

hence E it is.
