Why option A is not correct?

If we take -4 as a value of P then option A is also correct. Can you please solve my query?

akanksha10899,

It is a MUST BE type of question in which all the values of p to satisfy for the given condition.
But when p=-1, the inequality falls flat.

Takeaway
In MUST BE question type all the values should satisfy

Hope it helps :)
