Correct Answer

C

Explanation

The locus of a dog tethered to a pole with a rope of 4m is a circle. When a dog is tethered to a pole with a rope, the dog can move freely within the length of the rope, which forms a circle around the pole. The center of the circle is the location of the pole, and the radius of the circle is the length of the rope, which in this case is 4m. The dog can move anywhere along the circumference of this circle while remaining tethered to the pole.
