Solution

The correct option is B
Segment

The region enclosed between the rope and boundary has been clearly indicated in yellow colour. The portion of the circular region enclosed between a chord and the corresponding arc is called a segment. The rope here is the chord. The corresponding arc is the boundary of the swimming pool for the yellow region. Hence the enclosed region is a segment.
