Solution

The correct option is B (h+acosθ,k+bsinθ)
The parametric coordinates of standard ellipse x2a2+y2b2=1 is given by (acosθ,bsinθ).

And the parametric coordinates of translated ellipse (xh)2a2+(yk)2b2=1 is given by (h+acosθ,k+bsinθ).

The terms remain positive as both sin and cos are positive in the first quadrant.
