+1 for option C.
In addition to solutions above , one could also arrive at C in the following way:
-p<-5; -2q<4
-p-2q<-1 --> -p<2q-1 which means , -p<2q.
Hence option C

If p > 5 and q > -2, then which of the following is always true?

A) pq > -10
B) pq < -10
C) -p < 2q
D) -p > 2q
E) pq > 10

For me it took some time but successfully negated A B D E

A p=17, q=-1
B p=17, q=1
D for q=0
E for q=0
Answer C
