Answer: PA and PB

Step-by-step explanation: Opposite rays are two rays that share a common endpoint, have no other points of intersection, and whose points are all collinear. When naming a ray, the endpoint will always be the first letter.

In the diagram shown, both ray PA and ray PB have p as their endpoint.

Also note that that ray PA starts at P and goes in the direction of point A while ray PB starts at P and goes in the direction of point B.

Also, all the points are collinear.

So rays PA and PB are opposite rays.

Answer:

Option C) PA and PB

Explanation:

PA and ray PB are opposite because they are moving towards opposite direction and making an angle of 180 degrees.

On the other hand rays AP and BP are pointing toward each other.

AP and PZ are perpendicular to each other because they are making an angle of 90 degrees.

Whereas PW and PZ are making an angle of 45 degrees.
