E
Q3
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In Quadrant I, both the x– and y-coordinates are positive; in Quadrant II, the x-coordinate is negative, but the y-coordinate is positive; in Quadrant III both are negative; and in Quadrant IV, x is positive but y is negative.

Detailed explanation-2: -Quadrant III: The bottom left quadrant is the third quadrant, denoted as Quadrant III. In this quadrant, both the x-axis and the y-axis have negative numbers. Quadrant IV: The bottom right quadrant is the fourth quadrant, denoted as Quadrant IV.

Detailed explanation-3: -(iii) If x coordinate has the negative sign and y-coordinate has positive sign i.e(-, +), then the point lies in the second quadrant. (iv) if both coordinate x and y has negative sign i.e (-, -) then the point lies in the third quadrant.

Detailed explanation-4: -A vector in the second quadrant has a negative x component and a positive y component.

Detailed explanation-5: -(v) if x coordinate has a positive sign and y-coordinate has negative sign i.e (+, -), then the point lies in the fourth quadrant.
