|-1| signifies the absolute value of -1. That simplifies to 1. So, your expression is ...

... -52 +8·1 -3

... = -52 +8 -3

... = -44 -3

... = -47

None of the answers is applicable to the problem given.

_____

If the problem you intend is ...

... -5² +8|-1| +(-3)

then the story is different. In text form, this is written

... -5^2 +8|-1| +(-3) . . . . . . note the caret (^) for exponentiation

... = -25 +8·1 -3

... = -25 +8 -3

... = -17 -3

... = -20
