Two lines intersect at one point.

02

Step 2. Explanation.

Two angles are called a pair of vertically opposite angles, if their arm forms two pairs of opposite rays. For example, let two lines AB and CD intersect at O, then ∠AODand∠COB form a pair of vertically opposite angles and ∠AOCand∠BOD form another pair of vertically opposite angles.
