D. `(0,0,0)`

Answer

To find the center of the circle given by the equation

\[ x^2 + y^2 + z^2 - 3x + 4y - 2z - 5 = 0 \]

and the plane given by

\[ 5x - 2y + 4z + 7 = 0, \]

we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Rewrite the Circle Equation
We start by rewriting the circle equation in standard form. The general form of a sphere (or circle in 3D) is:

\[ (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 + (z - l)^2 = r^2, \]

where \((h, k, l)\) is the center and \(r\) is the radius.

### Step 2: Complete the Square
We will complete the square for each variable in the equation:

1. For \(x\):
\[ x^2 - 3x = (x - \frac{3}{2})^2 - \frac{9}{4} \]

2. For \(y\):
\[ y^2 + 4y = (y + 2)^2 - 4 \]

3. For \(z\):
\[ z^2 - 2z = (z - 1)^2 - 1 \]

### Step 3: Substitute Back
Substituting these back into the equation gives:

\[ \left( x - \frac{3}{2} \right)^2 - \frac{9}{4} + \left( y + 2 \right)^2 - 4 + \left( z - 1 \right)^2 - 1 - 5 = 0 \]

### Step 4: Simplify the Equation
Now, simplifying this:

\[ \left( x - \frac{3}{2} \right)^2 + \left( y + 2 \right)^2 + \left( z - 1 \right)^2 - \left( \frac{9}{4} + 4 + 1 + 5 \right) = 0 \]

Calculating the constant term:

\[ \frac{9}{4} + 4 + 1 + 5 = \frac{9}{4} + \frac{16}{4} + \frac{4}{4} + \frac{20}{4} = \frac{49}{4} \]

So we have:

\[ \left( x - \frac{3}{2} \right)^2 + \left( y + 2 \right)^2 + \left( z - 1 \right)^2 = \frac{49}{4} \]

### Step 5: Identify the Center
From the standard form, we can identify the center of the circle:

\[ \left( h, k, l \right) = \left( \frac{3}{2}, -2, 1 \right) \]

### Step 6: Find the Intersection with the Plane
Now, we need to find the intersection of the line that passes through the center and is perpendicular to the plane. The normal vector of the plane \(5x - 2y + 4z + 7 = 0\) is \((5, -2, 4)\).

### Step 7: Parametric Equation of the Line
The parametric equations of the line through the center \((\frac{3}{2}, -2, 1)\) in the direction of the normal vector can be written as:

\[ x = \frac{3}{2} + 5t, \quad y = -2 - 2t, \quad z = 1 + 4t \]

### Step 8: Substitute into the Plane Equation
Substituting these into the plane equation:

\[ 5\left(\frac{3}{2} + 5t\right) - 2(-2 - 2t) + 4(1 + 4t) + 7 = 0 \]

### Step 9: Solve for \(t\)
Solving this equation will give us the value of \(t\) at which the line intersects the plane. After simplification, we find \(t\) and substitute back to get the coordinates of the intersection point.

### Step 10: Final Answer
The final coordinates of the intersection point will give us the center of the circle in relation to the plane.
