  D.  5

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is good for finding the distance between two points.

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

  d = √((4 -0)² +(0 -(-3))²) = √(16 +9) = √25

  d = 5

The distance between the points is 5 units.

_____

You may notice that the line between the points makes a 3-4-5 right triangle with the coordinate axes.
