According to this article at grammarist, criteria is gaining traction as a singular noun, and appears in that role in notable publications.


  Although criterion lives, criteria is gaining ground as a singular
  noun, as used below:
  
  Careful though… this criteria is a double edged sword. [Schriever Air
  Force Base]
  
  The only criteria is that it must be partially or completely open to
  the public. [Houston Business Journal]
  
  Dark matter is another criteria that is examined. [Universe Today]


Based on this, I'd not deem If Criteria B is negative... to be incorrect. 

Purists would prefer If Criteria B are negative..., though, in my opinion. The Oxford dictionary still considers the singular usage a 'common mistake'. 


  Strictly speaking, the singular form (following the original Greek) is
  criterion and the plural form is criteria. It is a common mistake to
  use criteria as if it were a singular, as in a further criteria needs

Which one you should use depends largely on the audience. I'd say go with the singular, which is more widely used and isn't outright wrong; unless you have reason to believe your audience is likely to frown upon the controversial usage of the singular. It's like deciding whether you'll end a sentence with a preposition or not.

Criteria is plural, of course, but


One of the AxesLabel is "$:\text{log}|\Phi8b(u)|\color{Red}{\text{Red}}$".

Question: How to make it like: "$\color{Red}{\text{Red}}:\text{log}|\Phi8b(u)|$"?.

My Mathematica commads:

Φ8[u_] := Sin[u]; 

Φ8b[u_] := Sin[u] + 1/10; 

Plot[{Log[Abs[Φ8[u]]], Log[Abs[Φ8b[u]]]}, {u, 0, 2*Pi}, 
  PlotStyle -&gt; {{Thick, Blue}, {Thick, Red, Dashed}}, 
  AxesLabel -&gt; 
    {u, {Style["Blue", {Blue, Bold}]*":log|Φ8(u)|", 
         Style["Red",  {Red, Bold}]*" :log|Φ8b(u)|"}}]
