The coordinates of a shape that will form a cone when rotated about the y-axis will form a triangle that is bounded by the y-axis, the x-axis, and a sloped straight line.

Given the above explantion, we find that the two other coordinates in conjunction with the coordinate W(0, 5) which will give us such a shape are:

- X(0, 0) and Y(3, 0)

See the shape in the figure below:

Therefore, the correct answer is option B
