The correct option is D

13,10,5


Explanation for the correct option.

Find the shortest distance of the point from all three axes.

The distance of the point (1,2,3) from X-axis is

=y2+z2=4+9=13units

The distance of the point (1,2,3) fromY-axis is

=x2+z2=1+9=10units

The distance of the point (1,2,3) from Z-axis is

=x2+y2=1+4=5units

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
