Answer:

A. (-1, 0)

Explanation:

You want to know the terminal point on the unit circle of an angle of π radians in standard position.

Halfway

The angle π radians is halfway around the circle. The full measure of a circle is 2π radians. Halfway around puts the terminal point on the -x axis. Since the radius of a unit circle is 1 unit, the coordinates of the terminal point are (x, y) = (-1, 0).
