The correct option is (a) pitch

For explanation: The curve formed by the point on a circle as it rolls along a straight line is known as cycloid.

That surface of the tooth which is between the pitch circle and the top of the tooth is known as face of tooth.

The distance between similar, equally spaced tooth surfaces, in a given direction and along a given curve or line is known as pitch.
