Answer:

B

Explanation:

This is a reflection over the y-axis. The x value is changing sign while the y value is staying the same. The general rule for a reflection over the y axis is (x,y) --> (-x,y), and similarly for a reflection over the x axis is (x,y) --> (x,-y). When you reflect a point over an axis, you flip the sign of the opposite value.
