For AABC to the right, is the red dashed segment an altitude, a median, or neither? Explain your answer. Choose the correct answer below. O A. Median, because it connects to the midpoint of a side. O B. Median, because it connects a vertex of AABC to the midpoint of the opposite side. O C. Altitude, because it is perpendicular to a side. O D. Neither, because it is perpendicular to one side and connects to the midpoint of the same side.
