The correct answer is (b) remains at the same place for all configurations

The best explanation: The fixed instantaneous center of mechanism remains at the same place for all configurations.

The instantaneous centres which vary with the configuration of the mechanism, are called neither fixed nor permanent instantaneous centres.
