Answer:

D. lV

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a complex number and we are asked to find the quadrant in which our given complex number will lie.

Since x-axis represents the real numbers and y-axis represents imaginary number.

We can see that our in complex number 6-8i, 6 is real number, so it will be represented by x-axis. 6i is imaginary number, so it will be represented by y-axis.

Since 6 is positive, this means it will lie either in 1st quadrant or 4th quadrant.

Since 8i is negative, this means it will lie either is 3rd or 4th quadrant.

Upon combining our both numbers we can see that they will lie on 4th quadrant, therefore, option D is the correct choice.
