ANSWER

C. Origin

Step-by-step explanation

We have that the definition is the location where the x and y axis intersect and the ordered pair is (0,0)

This cannot be ordinate because ordinate in plane geometry refers to the y axis or the vertical axis.

It cannot also be abscissa because abscissa in plane geometry refers to the x axis or horizontal axis.

Also, a quadrant is one of the four parts which the x and y axis divide a plane into.

Therefore, the answer is the origin.

It is the point where the x and y axis intersect one another. It has cordinates of (0, 0).

That means that the x value is 0 and the y value is also 0.

It is the starting point of the graph.
