Try it in playground..
What's your doubt here?
edit:
if your doubt is why False as output? then
sizeof(int) returns a long unsigned int type value 4 . In expression evaluation, first the data operand values are all automatically upcasted to higher datatype. so -1 will be upcasted to unsigned long int which is 2^32-1 and it is greater than sizeof(int) (=4 mostly) in any machine.
so it outputs False
edit:
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
if(sizeof(int) > -1)
printf("True");
else
printf("False");
printf("\n%lu > %lu", sizeof(int),-1); //converted values
return 0;
}

Depends on how C evaluates (int)
