Answer:

The option is neither.

Explanation:

If a triangle is inscribed in a circle, it means that a circle is drawn around the outside of a triangle which contains all three vertices of the triangle.

If a triangle is circumscribed about the circle, it means that the circle is inside the triangle and it touches each side of the triangle at one point.

As we can see, the given figure is neither inscribed nor circumscribed. Therefore, the answer is neither.
