Since PM=PN

And


LM\perp MN

While


MN\perp ON

We can assume that


\begin{gathered} LN=OM\text{ and bisect each other} \\ \text{Therefore,} \\ PM=OP\text{ and }PN=LP \end{gathered}

Then we can conclude that


\begin{gathered} LP=PO\text{ ( Isosceles triangle theorem)} \\ \angle\text{MPL}=\angle NPO(\text{ Vertically opposite angles)} \\ \text{hence,} \\ \Delta MPL=\Delta NPO(By\text{ sides angle side)} \end{gathered}

Therefore,

The correct answer IS OPTION C
