Solution

The distance between two points in a 2D plane can be calculated using the formula:

Distance = sqrt[(x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)²]

Here, the coordinates of point A are (0,6) and of point B are (0,-2).

So, x1 = 0, y1 = 6, x2 = 0, y2 = -2.

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

Distance = sqrt[(0-0)² + (-2-6)²] = sqrt[0 + 64] = sqrt[64] = 8

So, the distance between points A and B is 8 units. Therefore, the correct answer is (B) 8.
