It really depends on the system of geometry you are going by. Some geometries have only points as undefined terms, while others have only points and lines. But, in the standard geometry that most people learn in high school, rays are defined in terms of points and lines, and the other three are left undefined. I would answer, B.

In standard high school geometry, the ray is defined in terms of a point and a line. Of you like being unconventional, though, you could make "ray" the undefined term and define line in terms of rays and a point. The undefined terms you use to get started are arbitrary, in a sense.

It quite relies upon on the gadget of geometry you're going via. some geometries have in basic terms factors as undefined words, at the same time as others have in basic terms factors and strains. yet, interior the commonplace geometry that maximum folk learn in intense college, rays are defined in terms of things and strains, and the different 3 are left undefined. i might answer, B.

B. Given points A and B, the ray AB (with an arrow pointing right on top) is defined as the set of points x such that 1) x lies between A and B, or 2) B lies between A and x.

A ray. It can be defined in terms of a line and a point.

point, since it is definite and finite, and does not go on forever.

i think is is ray because the other three are infinite.
