Answer: A. Ray

Explanation:

A ray is a part of a line that starts at a fixed point and goes towards in a particular direction to infinity where as a line has no endpoints such that it goes towards infinity from both the sides.

The point where the ray begins is known as its endpoint.

Similarly as a line, ray passes through infinite points on its way in a particular direction .

Thus, the basic geometric term can be called "half of a line" is ray.
