For ADEF to the right, is the red dashed segment an altitude, a median, or neither? Explain your answer. Choose the correct answer below. O A. Altitude, because it extends from a vertex of ADEF and is perpendicular to the opposite side. O B. Median, because it connects to the midpoint of a 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 another side.
