Given:

The figure is given.

To find:

The name of the green segment in the hyperbola.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

The transverse axis is a line segment that passes through the centre of the hyperbola and has vertices as its endpoints.

From the figure, we observe that the green line segment has vertices as its endpoints.

So, the green line segment is a transverse axis.

Final answer: Option B

The green line segment is a transverse axis.
