The answer is B. centroid, which is the intersection of three medians of the triangle's sides.

Let's look into other answers as well:

A. Circumcenter

It is the point where three perpendicular bisector meet, and is not correct as we can see there is no indication of right angles.

The first photo is what a circumcenter looks like:

C. Incenter

It is the point where the angle bisectors of the triangles meet, which is not indicated in the photo as well.

The second photo is what a incenter looks like:

D. Orthocenter

It is a point where the altitudes of a triangle intersect, and is not indicated by the figure.

The second photo is what a Orthocenter looks like:

Therefore the answer is B. Centroid.

Hope it helps!
