Answer:

F altitude

Explanation:

AB is perpendicular to triangle base XZ, so is an altitude of the triangle.

__

Additional comment

B is not the midpoint of XZ, so AB is not the median and not a bisector of XZ. Likewise, AB is not the angle bisector of angle A. (The triangle would have to be isosceles for AB to be a perpendicular bisector, median, and angle bisector.)

Eliminating the choices that can't work leaves the one that does work. AB is the altitude.
