The correct answer is: 4x-3y-4=0

x-2y+kz=1 .........(1)
2x+y+z=2 .........(2)
3x-y-kz=3 ........(3)
 

Hence,

1-2k2113-1-kxyz=123

For infinite solution,

1-2k2113-1-k=0

-k+1+2-2k-3+k-2-3=0

k=-12

Put this value in the equation 1, we get

2x-4y-z=2....4

Adding the equation 4 & 2, we get

4x-3y=4

Hence, the equation of straight line is 4x-3y-4=0
