The number of feet of normals from the point to the circle is
Explanation for the correct option:
Find the number of intersects when the normal is drawn from the given point.
An equation of circle and a point is given.
Find the location of the given point with respect to the given circle.
Rewrite the given equation as .
Substitute and in the equation of the circle.
Which implies that the given point is outside the given circle.
Therefore, the number of intersections when a normal is drawn from the given point to the given circle is .
Hence, option is the correct option.
