Solution

The correct options are
A
The locus is the line PQ, which is the $⊥$ of MN.

B
The point 'O' is equidistant from M and N.

The observations we can get from the given figure are:-

-The locus is the line PQ, which is the $⊥$ of MN.

-The locus of a point equidistant from two fixed points is the $⊥$ of the line joining the two fixed points.

-Any point on the $⊥$ of a straight line joining the two given points say M and N is equidistant from these points.
