Solution:

we are given with the function
y = 2.5sec(x-5)

The plot of the given function can be found by applying the shifting and stretching property to the graph of the parent function.

Here the parent function is
y=secx\\

As we know,

So the parent function
y=secx\\ gets shifted to right by 5 units.

The required plot of the function and parent function is attached.

The correct option has also been attached.
