Answer: Option 'B' is correct.

An arc that lies outside of a central angle is called a major arc.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since arc of a circle is a continuous portion of a circle.

And Central angle is the angle formed at the centre and it is an acute angle so, an arc that lies outside of a central angle will be a major arc only.

Because major arc is greater than half of the circle so, it can be formed outside of a central angle only.

Hence, Option 'B' is correct.

An arc that lies outside of a central angle is called a _______. A.minor arc B.major-example-1
