Solution

The correct option is B Minor arc
Arc is the part of circumference of the circle.

$\to$ Arc which make angle less than $180^{o}$ at the center of the circle is Minor Arc.

$\to$ Arc which make angle more than $180^{o}$ on the center of the circle is Major Arc.
$\to$ Arc which make exactly $180^{o}$ angle at the centre of the circle is known as Semicircle.

Hence, option $(b)$ correct.
