The correct answer is: $\frac{1}{2} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{HO}}$
Circumcenter (origin $\mathrm{O}$ )


$(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{O}})=\left(\frac{\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}}{3}\right) ; \mathrm{H}=\left(\frac{\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}}{2}\right)$
$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{N}}=\frac{1}{4}(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}})$
