Answer:

Option A.
√(65)\ units

Explanation:

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to


d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^(2)+(x2-x1)^(2)}

we have

Observing the graph


B(3,5)\\C(2,-3)

substitute the values


BC=\sqrt{(-3-5)^(2)+(2-3)^(2)}


BC=\sqrt{(-8)^(2)+(-1)^(2)}


BC=√(64+1)


BC=√(65)\ units
