Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

(x - h)\(^2\) + (y - k)\(^2\) = r\(^2\)

x\(^2\) - 2hx + y\(^2\) - 2ky + h\(^2\) + k\(^2\) = r\(^2\)

x\(^2\) - 2(3)x + y\(^2\) - 2(-4) y + 5\(^2\) + (-4)\(^2\) = r\(^2\)

x\(^2\) - 10x + y\(^2\) + 8y + 25 + 16 = r\(^2\)

x\(^2\) - 10x + y\(^2\) + 8y + 41 = r\(^2\)

at point (5,0)

5\(^2\) - 10(5) + 0\(^2\) + 8(0) + 41 = r\(^2\) 

25 - 50 + 41 = r\(^2\)

16 = r\(^2\) 

r = \(\sqrt{16}\) 

= 4 

x\(^2\) + y\(^2\) - 10x + 8y + 25 = 0
