To solve the system of equations:

1. **Given Equations:**
   $$
   \begin{cases}
   x = -4 \
   -5x - 4y = 16
   \end{cases}
   $$

2. **Substitute $$ x = -4 $$ into the second equation:**
   $$
   -5(-4) - 4y = 16
   $$
   $$
   20 - 4y = 16
   $$

3. **Solve for $$ y $$:**
   $$
   -4y = 16 - 20
   $$
   $$
   -4y = -4
   $$
   $$
   y = 1
   $$

4. **Solution:**
   $$
   (x, y) = (-4, 1)
   $$

**Answer:** (A) $$ (-4,1) $$
The solution is $$ (-4, 1) $$, choice A.
