Put any 2 values of r to get the coordinates of any 2 points that lie on the linegiven by
x=1+3r
y=2-r
z=3+4r
Let those points be B and C
So, we need to the eqn of a plane which contains 3 points A, B and C.
Use the condition of coplanarity of 3 points to find the eqn of the plane using the triple product as

[(\vec{r}-\vec{a}) (\vec{b}-\vec{a})(\vec{c}-\vec{a})]=0
Answer is option B
