Answer:

A. Orthocenter

Explanation:

In the given triangle, ΔWKS, the drawing shown the construction of a perpendicular line to the side KS that pass through the vertex W of ΔWKS. Therefore, the completed construction gives an altitude of the triangle ΔWKS

Repeating the same procedure from the vertex S to construct the perpendicular line (altitude) to the side WK, and from the vertex K the perpendicular line (altitude) to the side WS gives the three altitudes of the triangle

The point of intersection (the point of concurrency) of the three altitudes is the orthocenter of the triangle and the drawing would therefore be a step in finding the orthocenter of a triangle.
