I think A, but I want to be sure it's correct.

No, a point is usually named with uppercase letters

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

which other choices look like the answer?

anonymous · Answer

Oh, that's right. My bad. So I think I would have to go with B. a dot with length and width

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

If it had a length and width, then it would also have an area (however small)...but a point does not cover area (as it is infinitely small)


So choice B is also out

anonymous · Answer

Now I definitely know my answer. Because I know a point is not a circle, it would be answer C. a fixed location in space.
