Q:

ABC is an obtuse triangle. Which is true about point D? Point D can be the orthocenter because it is the point of intersection of three segments coming from the vertices of the triangle. Point D can be the orthocenter because each vertex angle appears to be bisected. Point D cannot be the orthocenter because the orthocenter of an obtuse triangle is located outside the triangle. Point D cannot be the orthocenter because the orthocenter of an obtuse triangle is located on the perimeter of the triangle.
