In a circuit with the given DC input voltages, which of the following could be the output voltage?

The output of a circuit powered by DC supplies is limited by the supply rails and will saturate near those rails when the input drive pushes it beyond the linear region. In this setup, the negative rail is at -5.5 V, so when the given DC input voltages drive the circuit to the extreme, the output can end up right at that negative rail. That makes -5.5 V the only value that matches the actual saturated output. The other voltages would require the output to be within the linear region or to exceed the supply limits, which isn’t consistent with the shown input conditions and supply arrangement.
