Solution

The correct option is C II and III only
The coordinates of any point on the 2D plane are given in form of (x,y).
In order to be a point in the 4th Quadrant, the value of x has to be positive and the value of y should be negative.

Hence the points II and III are in the 4th Quadrant because they satisfy the above conditions.
