Solution

The correct option is B A median is line joining the vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.
A median is line joining the vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side of the triangle but not any side.

All the medians will always lie inside the triangle and they meet at a point known as centroid, which also lies inside the triangle.
