we have that

The slope of the lines are

Line m

m=4/3

Line n

m=4/3

Line p

m=-3/4

Remember that

If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal

If two slopes are inverse reciprocal, then the lines are perpendicular

In this problem we have that

line m and line n are parallel

line m and line p are perpendicular

line n and line p are perpendicular

therefore

the answer is the option First
