Answer»

Correct option is (b) Lancet arch

Easiest explanation: The SIMPLEST shape is the long OPENING with a pointed arch known in England as the lancet. Lancet openings are often GROUPED, usually as a cluster of three or five. Lancet openings may be very NARROW and steeply pointed. Lancet arches are typically DEFINED as two-centered arches whose radii are larger than the arch’s span.
