The correct Answer is:
The shortest path between any two points is called a **line segment**. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Points**: Let's denote the two points as Point A and Point B. 2. **Understanding the Concept of Shortest Path**: The shortest distance between two points is the most direct route connecting them. 3. **Visualizing the Path**: If we were to draw a path from Point A to Point B, we could consider different types of paths: - A straight line (which is what we are looking for). - A curved line (which would be longer). - Any other indirect route (which would also be longer). 4. **Choosing the Correct Path**: Among the options provided: - A straight line connecting Point A to Point B is the shortest path. - Other options like curves or angles do not represent the shortest distance between two points. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the shortest path between any two points is called a **line segment**.
