The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Let point \(P(x,y,z)\) be equidistant from \(A, B, C\). \[ PA = PB \implies (x-2)^2 + y^2 + (z-3)^2 = x^2 + (y-3)^2 + (z-2)^2, \] \[ PB = PC \implies x^2 + (y-3)^2 + (z-2)^2 = x^2 + y^2 + (z-1)^2. \] From these, solve for \(x, y, z\), resulting in \[ (x,y,z) = (3,2,0). \]
