• B. Circumcenter
• C. Incenter
• D. Centroid

Answer 1

The correct option is A Orthocenter

Orthocenter is the point where all the altitudes of a triangle meet.

In the given figure, AD is the altitude to the side BC, BE is the altitude to the side AC and CF is the altitude to the side AB.
These three altitudes namely AD, BE and CF meet at the point O. Therefore, O is the Orthocenter of the $△ABC$.
