Solution

The correct option is A the same hyperbola
The points are such that one of the points is the orthocentre of the triangle formed by other three points.
We know that "When a rectangular hyperbola circumscribes a triangle then it also passes through the orthocentre of the triangle"
So, when the vertices of a triangle lie on a rectangular hyperbola the orthocentre also lies on the same hyperbola.
