The correct answer is Quadrants I and II.
Explanation: In a Cartesian coordinate system, the coordinates of a point ( (x, y) ) have the same sign in Quadrant I (where both ( x ) and ( y ) are positive) and Quadrant II (where ( x ) is negative and ( y ) is positive). Hence, the point M could only be in Quadrants I and II where both coordinates share the same sign.
