To identify which option represents two rays that intersect at a common endpoint, let's explore the definitions of each option:

1. A Line Segment: A line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct endpoints. It does not describe two rays intersecting at a common endpoint.

2. An Angle: An angle is formed when two rays (the sides of the angle) intersect at a common endpoint (the vertex of the angle). This clearly matches the description given.

3. Perpendicular Lines: Perpendicular lines are two lines that intersect at a right angle (90 degrees), but this does not specifically relate to rays with a common endpoint alone.

4. A Plane: A plane is a flat, two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely in all directions. It does not specifically describe the intersection of two rays at a common endpoint.

Given these analyses, the correct answer is that two rays that intersect at a common endpoint form an angle.

So, the answer is:
An angle

Answer:

Answer B

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer is: An angle is formed when two rays intersect at a common endpoint, known as the vertex.

Let us see the meaning of the other answers:

A. A line segment: A part of a line with two distinct endpoints.

B. An angle: Formed by two intersecting rays at a common endpoint.

C. Perpendicular lines: Two lines intersecting at a right angle (90 degrees).

D. A plane: A flat, two-dimensional surface extending infinitely in all directions.
