Solution

The correct option is C 3^i5^j+7^k+λ(3^i4^j+5^k)
Given plane is 3x4y+5z=8 or (3^i4^j+5^k)(x^i+y^j+z^k)=8
This shows that n=(3^i4^j+5^k) is normal to the given plane.
The required line is parallel to (3^i4^j+5^k)
Since the required line passes through 3^i5^j+7^k
It's equation is given by
3^i5^j+7^k+λ(3^i4^j+5^k)
Where λ is a parameter.
