i believe that the answer is b) except you have written the answer incorrectly.

and

. Sub this into the second equation, to give:

-->
so x = 0.

If x=0, then from , we get
-->
--> or

so, y = 4 or -4.

The 2 solutions are (0,4) and (0,-4).

Check in the second equation,

using (0,4):

which is indeed 1... correct.

using (0,-4):

which is also 1... correct
