This will have to be E.

You need to satisfy two conditions for (x-y)/(x+y) to be >=1.

1) Both (x-y) and (x+y) have to be of the same sign.

2) The absolute value of (x-y) must be >= the absolute value of (x+y).

Now A and B each taken separately give you info about x or y. So they are INSUFF.

Taken together, you only know that x-y is always positive. But how about x+y?

x=7 and y=-3 then you get an YES for the question.

x=3 and y=-7 the you get a NO.

So it is E.

Is $$\frac{x-y}{x+y} >= 1 ?$$

$$\frac{x-y}{x+y} - 1>= 0 ?$$

$$\frac{x-y-x-y}{x+y} >= 0 ?$$

$$\frac{-2y}{x+y} >= 0 ?$$

(1) x>0
INSUFF because no info about y

(2) y 0. But, x+y cannot be determined. Should be E.
