Answer

D

Work Step by Step

The vertices are the points where the axis and branches of the hyperbola intersect; point C is one of the vertices of the hyperbola and another vertex of the hyperbola would be the intersection point of the other branch and the axis. The midpoint between the vertices of the hyperbola is the origin as it is exactly midway between the two vertices. Therefore, D is the center.
