Yes, the answer is C. To rewrite the expression using the Associative Property of Addition, we need to group the numbers in a different way while keeping the order of the numbers the same. In this case, we can group (-3+5) together and also group (8+(-1)) together.
So, using the Associative Property of Addition, we can rewrite the expression as: -3+(5+8)+(-1)
By simplifying the expression inside the parentheses, we get: -3+13+(-1)
And finally, by performing the addition, we get: 9
