a
square
b
circle
c
straight line
d
two intersecting lines.

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Let us take the two perpendicular line as theaxes of coordinates. If (h, k) is any point of the locus, then |h|+|k|=1Locus is  |x|+|y|=1This consists of four line segment x+y=±1,x−y=±1which form a square                                                                     Fig. 16.15
