I got (B)

Explanation:

Equation of the position a car which follows a rectilinear path is given as

#x/y=1/6+1/(-2)t#

Starting point is given by equation for #t=0#. To meet the condition we get

#x/y=1/6+1/(-2)xx0#
#=>x/y=1/6#

From the expression we see that starting point, out of the given choices, is

#(x,y)=(1,6)#
