The correct answer is:


B) the point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle


Step-by-step explanation:


The definition of circumcenter is "the point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle."


To construct the circumcenter, we first construct the perpendicular bisector of each side of the triangle. Once we have these three lines, we find their point of intersection; this is the circumcenter.
