Solution

The correct option is C

III quadrant


Step 1 - I Quadrant

The first quadrant is in the upper right-hand corner of the plane. In this quadrant, both x and y-coordinates are positive

Example - (x,y)=(3,5)

Step 2- II Quandrant

The second quadrant is in the upper left-hand corner of the plane. In this quadrant, the x-coordinate is negative and the y-coordinate is positive.

Example - (x,y)=(-3,5)

Step 3- III Quadrant

The third quadrant is in the lower left-hand corner of the plane. In this quadrant, both x and y-coordinates are negative.

Example - (x,y)=(-3,-5)

Step 4- IV Quadrant

The fourth quadrant is on the lower right-hand corner of the plane. In this quadrant, the x-coordinate is positive and the y-coordinate is negative.

Example - (x.y)=(3,-5)

so, a point both of whose coordinates are negative will lie in the III quadrant

Hence, Option C is a correct answer
