The correct answer is: $y=1$
Given, equation of circle
$$
x^{2}+y^{2}-4 x=0 \text {, bisect by }(1,0)
$$



Centre of circle $=(2,0)$
Radius of circle $=2$
From figure, $\mathrm{AB}$ is the chord of circle which bisected by the point $(1,0)$ and perpendicular to the line $\mathrm{y}=1$.
Because it is parallel to x-axis while chord is parallel to $\mathrm{y}$-axis.
