Answer:

C. Centroid

Explanation:

The circumcenter is the center of a triangle's circumcircle (circumscribed circle over triangle). It can be found as the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors.

The incenter is the center of the incircle (inscribed circle into a triangle) of a triangle. The incenter can be constructed as the intersection of angle bisectors.

Centroid is the point where the three medians of the triangle intersect.

The intersection of the three altitudes of a triangle is called the orthocenter.

Since three medians intersect at point which divides each median into 2:1 ratio, the answer is centroid.
