ANSWER

A. Right

EXPLANATION

A tangent to a circle touches the circle at only one point.

The point where a tangent and a radius meet at is called the point of tangency.

The tangent to a circle meets the radius of a circle at a right angle.

This is because the angle between the tangent and the radius of the circle is 90°

The correct answer is A.
