a figure formed by two rays that share a common endpoint
the set of all points in a plane that are a given distance away from a given point
a part of a line that has one endpoint and extends indefinitely in one direction
a part of a line that has two endpoints

Explanation:

• A line segment is a part of a line.
• It has two distinct endpoints.
• The first option describes an angle (formed by two rays with a common endpoint).
• The second option describes a circle (set of points at a given distance from a given point).
