Solution

The correct option is C (2,2)
Foci are (0,2) and (0,2)
So, major axis is y-axis.
Let the equation of ellipse be x2a2+y2b2=1 (b>a)

Given, 2a=4 and 2be=4
a=2, be=2
b2e2=4b2a2=4b2=8
Therefore, equation of the ellipse is x24+y28=1
By putting all the points, we get that (2,2) lies on the ellipse.
