The shape of the type segment is:

ACircle

BSemi-circle

CTriangle

DRectangle

Answer:

B. Semi-circle

Read Explanation:

The Segment: This is the curved cast-iron or alloy block located directly under the platen (roller) that holds all the typebars in place. Why Semi-Circular? The typebars are arranged in a radial semi-circular arc so that when any key is struck, its individual typebar swings inward toward the central printing point (the segment guide) from different angles, striking the paper at the exact same spot on the platen.
