we know that 
(a1+a2+a3+......+am)^2= sum of squares of all the terms + 2*(sum of product of these numbers taken two at a time)
here, sum of ± 1, ± 2 , ± 3, ± 4... ± n =0
so sum of product of these numbers taken two at a time= – (sum of squares of all the terms)/2
but, sum of sqaures= (-1)^2+(1)^2+(-2)^2+(2)^2+.....+(-n)^2+n^2
=2(1^2+2^2+.....+n^2)
hence the final answer becomes
 – r=1n r^2
option C
