The correct answer is: None of these
Tangents drawn from the point O, meet the cirle at P & Q and C be the centre of given circle. Then points O, P, C and Q are concyclic. That means any circle passing through O, P and Q also passes through C and OC is the diameter for this circle. Hence mid point of OC is the circumcentre of triangle OPQ.
