Answer

B

Explanation

An angle is termed as a circumscribed angle if its vertex lies outside the circle, but its sides touch the circle. This is a fundamental concept in Euclidean Geometry that focuses on properties and definitions related to circles and circular shapes. Conversely, a central angle is an angle with its vertex at the center of the circle, and an inscribed angle is an angle with its vertex on the circle's circumference. Therefore, the correct answer is "B. circumscribed angle".
