Answer:

C. EGD

Explanation:

A major arc is typically named using the end points and a point on the arc. Here, the end points are E and D, and points on the major arc include C, G, and F. The major arc ED could be named any of

  • arc ECD
  • arc EGD . . . . choice C
  • arc EFD

Of course, the reverse of any of these names could also be used: DCE, DGE, DFE.
