The correct answer is:
Given
it passes through
Slope of the line is hence, slope of the line is
We know that if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is
Slope of tangent of which is perpendicular to is
Also, we know that the slop of tangent to a curve at a point is given by
And,
From and we get
At, and at
Thus, out of the given options only satisfy the curve, hence this point will lie on the curve.
