Solution

The correct option is C origin
Detailed step-by-step solution:
The horizontal axis in the coordinate plane is called the xaxis. The vertical axis is called the yaxis. The point at which the two axes intersect is called the origin. The origin is at 0 on the xaxis and 0 on the yaxis. Therefore,
(0, 0) lies on both x and yaxes.
