Solution

The correct option is A 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 through 360 degrees to get the desired circle.

Hence, the point where we pinned the compass becomes the centre of the circle.
