D
all real numbers negative 7 is less than or equal to y comma y is less than or equal to 7

Explanation

Since sine values range from −1 to 1, multiplying by −3 gives values from −3 to 3. Subtracting 4 shifts that range down by 4, so y ranges from −7 to −1, inclusive. The correct choice is A: −7 ≤ y ≤ −1.
