The point where the three medians of a triangle intersect is known as the centroid. The centroid is the average of the coordinates of the triangle's vertices.

To find the centroid (G) of a triangle with vertices at points A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2), and C(x3, y3), you can use the following formula:

\[ G\left( \frac{x1 + x2 + x3}{3}, \frac{y1 + y2 + y3}{3} \right) \]

However, none of the responses given are labeled with the coordinates of a specific triangle's vertices, so we're unable to determine the correct answer without that information.

If you require more information or a clarification regarding centroids or have specific vertices for the triangle, please provide that context!
