The correct answer is:

Line L must be perpendicular to both line O and line P as well.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since N, O and P are all parallel, any line that intersects N will intersect O and P at the same angle. Since L is perpendicular to N, intersecting at a right angle, this means it must be perpendicular to O and P also.
