**Topic: Angles and Intersecting Lines**

**Problem:**

The following figure shows two intersecting lines. Which points name a straight angle?

![Figure showing two intersecting lines with labeled points on either side of the intersection]

**Options:**
- A) ∠BEA
- B) ∠CED
- C) ∠AED
- D) ∠AEC

**Analysis:**

In the figure provided, two lines intersect, creating various angles. A straight angle is formed when the angle measures exactly 180 degrees. This usually occurs when two points lie on a straight line with respect to each other.

- **Line Analysis**: Line segments intersect at point E.
  - Points A, E, and B appear to be collinear on one line.
  - Points C, E, and D appear to be collinear on another line.

**Solution:**

To identify the straight angle, we need to select the angle that spans a line, which measures 180 degrees.

- ∠AE is a straight line if A, E, and D are collinear (forming a 180-degree straight angle).

By examining the figure:
- **Option C (∠AED)** is the correct choice as it reflects a straight line where A, E, and D are collinear, creating a 180-degree angle.

**Conclusion:**

The correct answer is:

**C) ∠AED**

This problem helps students understand the concept of straight angles and the identification of collinear points on intersecting lines.
