Solution

The correct option is B

Circle


On a circle, every point is at the same distance from a fixed point called the center.

The point P can be any point on the circle whose distance is always the same from the origin and here origin is the center of that circle.

The point P is always at the same distance from the origin, therefore, point P lies on the circle.
