Solution

The correct option is D None of these
We can see that the centre of the given circle is (1, -2).
Since the sides of square are parallel to the axes, therefore, first three alternates cannot be vertices of square because in first two (a and b) y = -2 and in (c) (x = 1), which passes through centre (1, -2) but it is not possible.
Therefore none of the above three is correct.
