Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

draw a right angled triangle with the right angle in the bottom left

label P as the bottome left corner and write its coordinates next to it

do same with Q

the length of the triangle is 4 (8-4 = 4)

the height is 10 (12-2 = 10)

use pythagoras to work out the hypotenuse:
