Solution

The correct option is B Sectors

It can be observed that the cake will be cut into 3 parts as shown above figure.

The portion (or part) of the circular region enclosed by two radii and the corresponding arc is called a sector of the circle.

The radii for each sector will be the line along cut has been made. The corresponding arc will be the boundary of circular cake between 2 lines of cut for each piece. It is clear each cut piece of the cake is a sector.
