My guess is "d) none of these". Polygons do not rely on circles being inscribed within or circumscribed around them. But your question is vague. The answer could actually be any of the above.

I assume there is a diagram.
Inscribed means the circle is within the polygon with the arc of the circle touching each side of the polygon.
Circumscribed means the polygon is withing the circle with each vertex of the polygon touching the arc of the circle.

(c)
---------------
Reason: A regular polygon has a constant apothem, and thus has a circle inscribed in it. In addition, a regular polygon has a constant distance between the center and its vertices. Therefore, it has a circle circumscribing it.

D) none of these. a polygon is a shape with straight lines that connect.
