Answer

$\bf{Graph{(VI)}}$

Work Step by Step

The parametric equations of a circle having radius $r$ are; $x=r \cos t ; y =r \sin t$ Here, we have $x= t \cos t , y= \sin t , z=\dfrac{1}{1+t^2}$ We see that $x$ and $y$ look like a circle when we look down from a top view with a high z-value. The parametric equation $z=\dfrac{1}{1+t^2}$ shows that $z$ is always positive. This matches with $\bf{Graph{(VI)}}$.
