    C. Geometry
    Explanation
    Convex Geometry is a branch of Geometry. It specifically deals with the study of convex sets, which are sets that contain all the line segments connecting any two points within the set. This branch of geometry focuses on properties and characteristics of convex shapes, such as convex polygons and convex polyhedra. It explores concepts like convex hulls, convex functions, and convex optimization. Convex Geometry plays a crucial role in various fields, including computer science, optimization theory, and operations research.

    • D. 

      Lattices

    Correct Answer
    A. Convex sets
    Explanation
    Convex Geometry is the branch of geometry that focuses on studying convex sets. Convex sets are defined as sets where, for any two points within the set, the line segment connecting them is also completely contained within the set. This branch of geometry analyzes the properties and characteristics of convex sets, including their boundaries, intersections, and transformations. It is a fundamental concept in mathematics and has applications in various fields such as optimization, computer graphics, and operations research.

      Vector space

    • D. 

      Euclidean space

    Correct Answer
    D. Euclidean space
    Explanation
    Convex Geometry is the branch of geometry that studies convex sets, which are sets that contain all the line segments connecting any two points within the set. Euclidean space refers to the standard three-dimensional space that we are familiar with, where points are represented by coordinates and distances are measured using the Euclidean metric. Therefore, Euclidean space is the most appropriate setting for studying convex sets and their properties.

    • D. 

      Linear algebra

    Correct Answer
    D. Linear algebra
    Explanation
    Convex sets occur naturally in all areas mentioned except for linear algebra. While linear algebra deals with vector spaces, matrices, and linear transformations, it does not specifically focus on the study of convex sets. On the other hand, convex sets are fundamental in linear programming, discrete geometry, and convex analysis, as they play a crucial role in optimization, geometric structures, and the study of convex functions, respectively. Therefore, linear algebra is the only option that does not naturally involve the study of convex sets.

    • D. 

      19th Century

    Correct Answer
    A. 20th Century
    Explanation
    Convex geometry became an independent branch of mathematics at the turn of the 20th Century. This means that it gained recognition and significance as a separate field of study during this time period. Prior to the 20th Century, convex geometry may have been studied within the broader context of geometry, but it was not considered a distinct area of focus.
