See a solution process below:

For each occurrence of #color(red)(x)# in #f(x)# substitute #color(red)(-1)# and calculate the result:

#f(color(red)(x)) = -4color(red)(x) - 5# becomes:

#f(color(red)(-1)) = (-4 xx color(red)(-1)) - 5#

#f(color(red)(-1)) = 4 - 5#

#f(color(red)(-1)) = -1#

The correct answer is D
