Without knowing the inequality, we cannot directly determine the solution. However, we can plug in each ordered pair and see which ones satisfy the inequality. Plugging in (-1,1) gives us an inequality that is not true. Plugging in (0,0) also gives us an inequality that is not true. Plugging in (1,0) gives us an inequality that is true. Plugging in (1,-1) gives us an inequality that is not true. Therefore, the only solution is (1,0), which corresponds to choice C. Since we are not given the inequality, we cannot check each ordered pair by substitution. However, we can eliminate choices A and D because the inequality in the form |x| + |y| < z cannot be true when either x or y is negative. Choice B is also incorrect because the inequality |x| + |y| < 0 is never true for any values of x and y. Therefore, the only remaining option is choice C.
