The globe of death is an attraction widely used in circuses. It consists of a kind of cage in the shape of a spherical surface made of steel, where motorcyclists ride their motorcycles inside. In Figure 2, point A is on the ground plane where the globe of death is placed and segment AB passes through the center of the sphere and is perpendicular to the ground plane. Suppose there is a light source directed at the ground placed at point B and that a motorcyclist makes a path inside the sphere, traveling a circle that passes through points A and B. The image of the path made by the motorcyclist on the ground plane is best represented by (A) [figure A] (B) [figure B] (C) [figure C] (D) [figure D] (E) [figure E]
