Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

Locus of a point equidistant from two fixed points is the perpendicular bisector of the straight line joining the points Gradients of PQ = (5-3 / 3-1) = 2/2 = 1
Gradient bisector = -1
Equation of perpendicular bisector
y - y1 = m(χ - χ1
y - 4 = -χ + 2
y = + 6

There is an explanation video available below.
