Hi!

Your answer is C.

The vertex is the point where two different rays meet, forming an angle.

It can also simply be the point where 2 straight lines simply meet.

Option A is NOT correct because a vertex is not angle, it is a part of an angle.

Option B is NOT correct because, if there's only one segment, we cannot form a vertex.

See the image below for an example:
