Answer

$\bf{Graph{(5)}}$

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 $x= t , y=\dfrac{1}{1+t^2}, z=t^2$ 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 $z=t^2$ can be written as: $z=x^2$ This shows that the projection of the curve on the xz plane must be a parabola and the $y$ and $z$ coordinates should never be negative. This matches with $\bf{Graph{(5)}}$.
