With centre N and radius equal to radius of generating circle, draw an arc cutting the locus of C at D. iv. Draw a line joining M and N which is normal. Correct Answer iii, i, iv, ii

The normal at any point on an epicycloidal curve will pass through the corresponding point of contact between the generating circle and the directing circle. And also with help of locus of centre of generating circle we found the normal and the tangent.
