Solution

The correct option is A True
The horizontal axis in the coordinate plane is called the x-axis. The vertical axis is called the y-axis. The point at which the two axes intersect is called the origin. The origin is at $0$ on the x-axis and $0$ on the y-axis. Therefore, $(0, 0)$ lies on both the axis. Hence, the given statement is true.
