To answer this question you should know what to do to change the polar coordinates to rectangular ones: x = rcos (θ)
y = rsen (θ)
So for r = -2 and θ = 2π we have
x = -2cos (2π)
x = -2
y = -2sen (2π)
y = 0
Finally the equivalent point in Cartesian coordinates is the point:
(-2 0)
The correct answer is option B
