B. 0
C. 15
D. 2

C. 15
The bot is wrong, it is not 15
I guess it did not realize that the points lie vertically above each other,
so we just have to look at it to get the right answer

You are correct. Since the points have the same x-coordinate, they lie on a vertical line. Therefore, the distance between them is simply the difference between their y-coordinates:
10 - 5 = 5
So the correct answer is A. 5.
10 - 5 = 5
So the correct answer is A. 5.
