GIVEN: Line J never passes through the first quadrant
This means line J has a NEGATIVE slope, AND line J has a negative y-intercept (see below for an example of how line J might look)
I. line J is perpendicular to line H
POSSIBLE (see diagram below)
II. line J is parallel to line H
We know that line J has a NEGATIVE slope and we're told that line H has a POSITIVE slope.
In order for two lines to be parallel, their slopes must be equal.
Since a NEGATIVE slope can never equal a POSITIVE slope, statement II is NOT possible.
III. line J intersects line H on the x-axis
POSSIBLE (see diagram below)
Answer: C

Line H will always pass through quadrant I
I. J is perpendicular to H..
Yes possible as J will have negative slope and can be made in a way that it does not cross quadrant I..
II. J is parallel to H.
No then J too will have positive slope and will pass through quadrant I
III. Line J intersects H on X axis.
Yes possible. J and H can cross on negative x..
So I and III are possible
C
