O a straight figure that has no thickness and extends infinitely in two opposite directions
• a part of the circumference of a circle or other curve that measures the distance between two points on a curve
• a line that intersects another line at a 90-degree angle

The precise definition of a point is:

- **a straight figure that has no thickness and extends infinitely in two opposite directions**

However, it seems this description more accurately applies to a line rather than a point. A point is actually defined as a specific location in space with no dimensions (length, width, or height).

For clarification on the other definitions provided:

- A straight line that always remains the same distance from another line and, therefore, never intersects it refers to **parallel lines**.
- A part of the circumference of a circle or other curve that measures the distance between two points on a curve is known as a **arc**.
- A line that intersects another line at a 90-degree angle is termed a **perpendicular line**.

If you are specifically looking for the definition of a point, it is commonly defined as an exact location in space with no size or dimension.
