B. The reference point is the 0 of a straight line description. Left of it would be negative and right of it would be positive.

Answer:

Reference point

Step-by-step explanation:

To explain the position of an object, we have to choose some location or point from where we start to observe the position of the object. This point is called reference point.

As we move leftwards from the reference point, the position of the object is taken as negative and if we move rightwards from the reference point, the position of the object is taken as positive.
