To find the coordinates of point A(4, 1) after a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation, you can use the formula for rotating a point around the origin (0, 0). The formula for a counterclockwise rotation of a point (x, y) is:

\[
(x', y') = (-y, x)
\]

For point A(4, 1):
- The new x-coordinate (x') = -y = -1
- The new y-coordinate (y') = x = 4

Thus, after a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation, point A(4, 1) will be located at the coordinates:

\[
A'(-1, 4)
\]

Use this result to determine which point among B, C, D, E, F, G, or H corresponds to the new position A'(-1, 4).
