They are all on the border of two quadrants (the #xandy# axes are the borders).

Explanation:

#(0,4)# is on the #y#-axis and above the #x#-axis, so it is between the first and second quadrant (#IandII#)
#(0,-4)# is on the #y#-axis and below the #x#-axis, so it is between #IIIandIV#
#(4,0)# is on the #x#-axis and to the right of the #y#-axis, so it is between #IVandI#
#(-4,0)# is on the #x#-axis and to the left of the #y#-axis, so it is between #IIandIII#

Usually these border-cases are assign to the lower quadrant of the two, so the answer would be #I,III,I,II#
