Answer

Since, the circle is inscribed in a regular octagon.

∴ Center of both the octagon and circle are concurrent.

We know that,

For an 'n' sided regular polygon, the angle subtended at the centre by each side is 360°n=360°8\dfrac{360°}{n} = \dfrac{360°}{8} = 45°.

Hence, Option 3 is the correct option.
