The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

For \(x^2+y^2-x-4y+1=0\) the centre is \(\left(\frac{1}{2},2\right)\). The point \((-1,1)\) satisfies the equation: \(1+1+1-4+1=0\).
If the opposite end is \((h,k)\), then \(\frac{-1+h}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\) and \(\frac{1+k}{2}=2\).
So \(h=2\) and \(k=3\); the point is \((2,3)\).
Answer: (4) \((2,3)\)
