Answer:

A. A shape formed by two intersecting lines from a common point.

Explanation:

We know that,

A 'line' is a line segment that is extended infinitely in both the directions whereas a 'ray' is a line segment that has one end point and extends infinitely in the other direction.

Now, an 'angle' is the figure that is formed by two rays having a common end-point.

As the angle has a common end point, therefore it is not possible to form an angle by intersecting two lines or two rays having different end points.

Hence, option A is correct.
