Solution

The correct option is D
8

Step 1: Find the required distance.
According to the provided point the value of $x$ is 3 which means the distance from the horizontal axis is 3 and by using the same approach the distance from the vertical axis is 5. So, write the addition of the obtained distances.
$5 + 3 = 8$
Therefore, the required sum of the distances is 8.
Option A: The provided coordinate represents positive numbers so the sum of the distances cannot be a negative number.
Therefore, the provided number does not represent the sum of the distances.
Option B: The provided coordinate represents positive numbers so the sum of the distances cannot be a 0.
Therefore, the provided number does not represent the sum of the distances.
Option C: The provided coordinate represents two big positive numbers so the sum of the distances cannot be 2.
Therefore, the provided number does not represent the sum of the distances.
Hence, the correct option is D.
