Solution

The correct option is A
6 units from the x-axis and 7 units from the y-axis.

The abscissa of the point is the perpendicular distance of the point from y-axis.

The ordinate of the point is the perpendicular distance of the point from x-axis.

Therefore, the distance of point is 6 units from the x-axis and 7 units from the y-axis.
