Solution

The correct option is B
False

Any point on the coordinate plane is represented as (abscissa, ordinate). The abscissa is measured from y-axis along the x-axis direction and the ordinate is measured from x-axis along the y-axis direction. If the perpendicular distance of a point P from y-axis measured along the positive x-axis is 4 units. Therefore the ordinate of P is 4.
