Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A point at which three altitudes of a triangle meet is known as orthocenter.

Whereas when a circle is inscribed in a triangle and it touches all the sides of a triangle then the center of circle is known as incenter.

When all the three medians of a triangle intersect each other then the point is known as centroid.

Circumcenter is a point where perpendicular bisectors on each side of a triangle bisect and this point is equidistant from all the vertices.
