B Correct answer
Explanation

The point is (– 7, 6). Here, x co-ordinate is – 7 < 0 and y co-ordinate is 6 > 0 i.e. x < 0 and y > 0, and when x is negative and y is positive, then the point lies in 2nd quadrant. So, the point (– 7, 6) lies in the 2nd quadrant.

AI explanation

A point falls in the second quadrant when its x-coordinate is negative and its y-coordinate is positive. Since (-7, 6) has a negative x-value and a positive y-value, it lies to the left of the y-axis and above the x-axis, placing it in the second quadrant.
