If there are more than one rational points on the circunference of the circle \mathrm{x^2+y^2-2 \pi x -2 ey +c=0, (as (\pi, e)} \mathrm{\text{is the centre)}}, then \mathrm{e} will be a rational multiple of \mathrm{\pi}, which is not possible. Thus the number of rational points on the circumference of the circle is at most one.

Hence option 1 is correct.
