The correct answer is: $(8,5)$
Equation of given circle is
$$
\begin{gathered}
x^2+y^2-2 x+4 y-93=0 \\
\Rightarrow \quad(x-1)^2+(y+2)^2=98
\end{gathered}
$$

The vertex of the square inscribed in the circle whoses sides are parallel to the coordinate axes is
$$
\begin{aligned}
&\left(1 \pm \sqrt{98} \cos \frac{\pi}{4},-2 \pm \sqrt{98} \sin \frac{\pi}{4}\right) \\
&=(1 \pm 7,-2 \pm 7) \\
&=(8,5),(8,-9),(-6,5),(-6,-9)
\end{aligned}
$$
