Answer

Plot $V$

Work Step by Step

Given : $x=(1-u)(3+cosv)cos4\pi u$ $y=(1-u)(3+cosv)sin 4\pi u$ $z=3u+(1-u)sinv$ To find the grid curves corresponding to $u$ as constant, substitute $v=k$ $x=(1-u)(3+cosk)cos4\pi u$ $y=(1-u)(3+cosk)sin 4\pi u$ $z=3u+(1-u)sink$ This is an equation of a helix with a non- constant radius $=k$ Only plot $IV$ and $V$ contain grid curves which are helix. But only plot $V$ contains helical grid curves with non-constant radius.
