A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that point P partitions a directed line segment from A to B into the ratio 3:4, we are to determine how close P is to either A or B.

To do this, we take an example.

Let the length of line segment AB be 14 Units.

Since P divides AB in the ratio 3:4

Therefore, from the above, we can conclude that P will be closer to A as its distance from A is shorter than its distance from B.

The correct option is A.
