I think you accidentally subtracted the two values you got for x and y or you simply forgot both had opposite signs! 0.5+(-0.5) = 0 Hence LHS>RHS. Hence valid

Hope it helps.

is it not B?

I x = 0.5 y = -0.5 z = 0.5 x^2+y^2+z^2 = 0.75 that is less than x+y = 1 false
II. If |x + z − y| = x + z − y, then x+z > y .|x^2 + z − y| = x^2 + z − y .but as in the last option the x could be lower when ^2 false
III. |x + y − z| ≤ |x| + |y| + |z| can work if z is negative or the x and y are negative
