Identify the shaded angle

The shaded angle is marked with the number 2. It is formed by the ray \(CA\) and the ray \(CB\), sharing the vertex \(C\).

Evaluate naming options

• Option A (\(\angle CAB\)): This name uses \(A\) as the vertex, which is incorrect because the vertex of the shaded angle is \(C\).
• Option B (\(\angle ACB\)): This name lists the vertex \(C\) in the middle, with points \(A\) and \(B\) on the sides. This is a correct name.
• Option C (\(\angle BCA\)): This name lists the vertex \(C\) in the middle, with points \(B\) and \(A\) on the sides. This is a correct name.
• Option D (\(\angle 2\)): This name uses the number labeled inside the angle. This is a correct name.
