The construction shown in this image is B) A square inscribed in a circle.

This construction is made by taking four points in a circle that are equally distant from each other and drawing lines connecting these four points, resulting in a square.

A square circumscribed about a circle would end up with the circle inside the square. The circumcenter and incenter of a square are not shown in this diagram.

The answer would be B because the square is inside of the circle, while the circle surrounds it.
