For a circle of radius r r centered at the origin, a point ( x , y ) (x, y) will lie inside the circle if x 2 + y 2 < r 2 x^2 + y^2 < r^2 . For the given points, the only point that satisfies this relation is ( 2 , 3 ) \boxed{(-2, -3)} :

( 2 ) 2 + ( 3 ) 2 = 13 4 2 = 16 13 < 16 (-2)^2 + (-3)^2 = 13 \\ 4^2 = 16 \\ 13 < 16
