IMO A
statement 1) the pt lies on x=-1, any pt on x=-1 will be equidistant from both the pts.
statement 2) the pt. can be anywhere on the line y=-3 (1,-3;2,-3;3,-3) so u cant say if it is closer to A or B.
coordinate s.

I screwed up high time 
The answer is A.
As you can see from the attached image, the two points A and B lies equidistant from the line X = -1, so any point in that line will be equidistant from A and B. hence sufficient.
The second part of the image shows the line Y = -3, the first point C1 is closer to point A but another point C2 is closer to point B. Hence not sufficient
