Solution

The correct option is C a hyperbola
A pair of straight line if $Δ = 0$ , where $Δ = a b c + 2 f g h - a f^{2} - b g^{2} + c = 0$ .
or $Δ = ⎡ ⎢ ⎣ \begin{matrix} a & h & g h & b & f g & f & c \end{matrix} ⎤ ⎥ ⎦$
For $a b c + 2 f g h - a f^{2} - b g^{2} - c h^{2} \neq 0$ and $h^{2} > a b$ conic is hyperbola.
So, option B is correct
