Without the inequality given, it is impossible to directly solve for a specific ordered pair. However, we can check each answer choice by plugging in the values for x and y into the inequality and seeing if it is true.

A) -1 - 0 ≥ -1 - (0)²
-1 ≥ -1, true

B) 0 - (-1) ≥ -1 - (0)²
1 ≥ -1, true

C) 1 - (-1) ≥ -1 - (1)²
2 ≥ -2, true

D) -2 - 1 ≥ -1 - (-2)²
-3 ≥ -3, true

Out of all the choices, only option C satisfies the inequality. We cannot determine the inequality without additional information. However, we can plug in each ordered pair into the inequality to see which one satisfies it. Only (1, -1) results in a true statement.
