Answer:

(B) Incenter

Explanation:

From the given figure, it can be seen that PMN is a triangle where MQ is the angle bisector of ∠NMP, PQ is the angle bisector of∠NPM and NQ is the angle bisector of ∠MNP.

Also, It is equally distant from the three line segments forming the sides of the triangle. Thus, By the definition of incenter, Q can be named as the incedntre of the given triangle PMN.

Since, the centroid, circumcenter and orthocenter does not satisfy the conditions given in the figure, thus Q can not be considered as centroid, circumcenter and orthocenter.

Hence, option B is correct.
