In the figure shown, which description correctly matches the shaded region? 
AA major sector
BA minor segment
CA minor sector
DA major segment
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. A minor sector
The shaded region is bounded by two radii and the minor arc between their endpoints, so it is a sector. Since it corresponds to the smaller part cut off by the central angle, it is the minor sector.
