Answer:

(-4,3)

B is the correct option.

Explanation:

We have been given the expression 2(1,0) -3(2,-1)

On distributing 2 and -3 over the parentheses, we get

(2×1,2×0)+(-3×2,-3×(-1))

On simplifying, we get

(2,0)+(-6,3)

Now, adding, we get

(2-6,0+3)

On simplifying, we get

(-4,3)

B is the correct option.
