It is B because if you put (4,3) in the equation it gives 0. So 0<1. It is the only one possible

The only ordered pair that is a solution to 3x - 4y < 1 is (4, 3).

The correct answer is option B.

We are given the inequality 3x - 4y < 1. We want to find which of the following ordered pairs is a solution to this inequality:

(3, 2)

(4, 3)

(3, -3)

(2, -2)

To solve this problem, we can plug in the x and y values of each ordered pair into the inequality and see if it is true.

For (3, 2), we have 3(3) - 4(2) = 9 - 8 = 1. This is not less than 1, so (3, 2) is not a solution.

For (4, 3), we have 3(4) - 4(3) = 12 - 12 = 0. This is less than 1, so (4, 3) is a solution.

For (3, -3), we have 3(3) - 4(-3) = 9 + 12 = 21. This is not less than 1, so (3, -3) is not a solution.

For (2, -2), we have 3(2) - 4(-2) = 6 + 8 = 14. This is not less than 1, so (2, -2) is not a solution.

Therefore, from the given options the correct one is B.
