To determine if the given points are collinear, we can use the slope formula. 
The slope between (4, -2) and (6, 2) is (2 - (-2)) / (6 - 4) = 2/2 = 1. 
The slope between (4, -2) and (0, -11) is (-11 - (-2)) / (0 - 4) = -9/-4 = 9/4. 
The slope between (6, 2) and (0, -11) is (-11 - 2) / (0 - 6) = -13/-6 = 13/6. 
Since the three slopes are different, the points are not collinear. Therefore, the best choice is B.
