Given the statement:

“if two lines intersect, then the intersection is a point.”

what is the hypothesis

a. points have intersection

b. intersection happens at a point
c. two lines intersect

d. intersection is a point

 the correct option is

(C) Two lines intersect.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given the following conditional statement :

"If two lines intersect, then the intersection is a point."

We are to select the sentence that is the hypothesis of the given statement.

We know that

in the conditional statement, "if p, then q", p is the hypothesis and q is the conclusion.

Therefore, the hypothesis in the given conditional statement is

"Two lines intersect."

Thus, (C) is the correct option.
