Answer

B.

Work Step by Step

Consider the given coordinate $\left( 3,\pi \right)$ as $\left( r,\theta \right)$. Here, $\begin{align} & \theta =\pi \\ & r>0 \\ \end{align}$ From above, it is clear that $\theta $ has been taken in the counter clockwise direction and $r>0$, so $r$ lies on the terminal side. Hence, the $\left( 3,\pi \right)$ coordinate lies on the x-axis.
