Solution

The correct option is B (-3, -2)
Take a point C on the graph such that ABCD is a square i.e all sides AB, BC, CD and AD are equal. So, the abscissa of C should be equal to the abscissa of B i.e -3 and ordinate of C should be equal to the ordinate of D. i.e -2.
Hence, the coordinates of C are (-3, - 2).
The graph obtained by plotting the points A, B and C and D is given below.
