Solution

The correct option is C centre
When we draw a circle of a given radius, we first measure the length of the radius with the help of a ruler to set the distance from the point of the compass to the pencil's lead. Next, we pin the compass at a point and turn it around to get the desired circle. Hence the point where we pinned the compass becomes the centre of the circle.
