Best answer
Right option is (c) Hypocycloid

To explain I would say: Hypocycloid is a special plane curve generated by the trace of a fixed point on a small circle that rolls within a larger circle. It is comparable to the cycloid but instead of the circle rolling along a line, it rolls within a circle. In the figure below, the circle with radius b rolls inside the bigger circle thus making the curves known as hypocycloid.
