(b) locus

(c) complete end

The question was posed to me in an international level competition.

The question is from Traces of a Line in chapter Projection of Lines of Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Right option is (d) trace

To explain: When a line is inclined to a plane, it will meet that plane, produced if necessary. The point in which the line or line produced meets the plane is called its trace. Even for planes if extended meet the reference planes at its traces.
