The answer is the third one.

The first two are easy, you can see that the radius of S is 4 and the radius of T is 5-4=1.

The point of intersection is where the two circles touch each other, and is is (4, 1), because you have to put the x value first.

The equation of the tangent line is just y=4, because it is a straight vertical line.
