Consider a family of circles which are passing through the point `(-1,1)` and are tangent to the x-axis. If `(h ,k)` are the coordinates of the center of the circles, then the set of values of `k` is given by the interval. (a)`kgeq1/2` (b) `-1/2lt=klt=1/2` (c)`klt=1/2` (d) `0

A

`kge (1)/(2)`

B

`-(1)/(2) le k le (1)/(2)`

C

`k le(1)/(2)`

D

`0ltklt(1)/(2)`
