Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) N020 G03 X20 Y20 X10 Y10 R10

Explanation

Relative to the center, the start lies directly above and the endpoint directly left. The short arc is a 90° counterclockwise arc of radius 10, so G03 identifies **A**, the official answer. The printed choices repeat X/Y coordinates in one block; standard modal programming establishes the start separately, then commands G03 X10 Y10 R10. The source’s combined start/end notation is retained rather than presented as a valid portable CNC block.
