Answer:

Option C: Line s

Explanation:

Let's refer to plane H as being 2D since we are dealing with lines.

Thus, x-axis would refer to the horizontal axis while y-axis will refer to the vertical axis.

Now, we are told that line q goes through plane H in the center at point X and that Line t is one that comes out from point X.

This means that line q and line t are parallel to each other.

Also, we are told that Lines r and s are parallel and that they're at a right angles to line q.

Since line q and line t are parallel to each other, it means that lines r and s are at right angles to both lines q and t

Thus, it means lines r and s are both perpendicular to lines q and t

Now, we are told that line p goes through r and s.

However, we want to find which line is parallel to line r.

From earlier statement we saw that lines r and s are parallel to each other.

Thus; correct answer is "line s"
