Detailed Solution

Concept: To find the additive inverse of a number, the sum of the given number and its additive inverse should be zero.
We are aware that a number x has an additive inverse, -x, which when combined with x results in the additive identity 0, that is
x+(-x)=x-x=0
 Now, since
5+(-5)=0
So,the additive inverse of 5 is -5.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
