B Correct answer
Explanation

The point B lies on y-axis; so the x-coordinate must be zero and y-coordinate must be 3. Thus, the ordered pair representing the point B is (0, 3).

AI explanation

An ordered pair is always written as (x, y), where x is the horizontal distance and y is the vertical distance from the origin. Point B sits directly on the y-axis, 3 units above the origin, giving coordinates (0, 3) rather than (3, 0), since it has no horizontal displacement.
