Answer:

Option C is correct.

Explanation:

See the diagram attached.

Given that YZ bisects MO, hence, MZ = ZO ........ (1)

If we want to prove that point N is equidistant from points M and O, then we have to prove that Δ MNZ ≅ Δ ONZ, so that we can prove that MN = ON.

Now, to prove Δ MNZ ≅ Δ ONZ, we must have another condition that MO ⊥ YZ or, NZ ⊥ MO.

So, we have (i) MZ = OZ {from equation (1)}

(ii) ∠ NZM = ∠ NZO = 90° {Since, NZ ⊥ MO} and

(iii) NZ is the common side

Hence, by SAS criteria it is proved that Δ MNZ ≅ Δ ONZ and hence, proved that MN = ON.

Therefore, option C is correct. (Answer)
