The ray whose endpoint is B is the ray in option (c)

An appropriate name for a ray whose endpoint is B is (a) BA

Labelling a ray with endpoint B and the name

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The figure

In geometry, a ray is a straight line that extends infinitely in one direction.

It is defined by two points: an initial point, often referred to as the endpoint, and a second point in the direction in which the ray extends.

Using the above as a guide, we have the following:

The ray is the ray AB and the name is also AB

A ray with an endpoint B is shown in option C.

A ray is a line that has only one endpoint defined, and it extends continuously away from the other (endpoint B in this case).

The ray in the question has one endpoint B, and endpoint A is extending away continuously (as shown by the arrowhead).
