The triangular portion between any two adjacent arches and the tangent to their crowns, is A. Haunch B. Spandril C. Soffit D. Rise

Haunch
Spandril
Soffit
Rise

The correct answer is B. Spandril.

A spandrel is the triangular space between the curve of an arch and the rectangular frame enclosing it. It is often filled with decorative elements, such as moldings, sculpture, or mosaics.

A haunch is the curved surface of an arch between the crown and the springer. The springer is the point where the arch starts to curve.

A soffit is the underside of an arch or lintel.

A rise is the vertical distance between the springing line and the crown of an arch.

The spandrel is the only option that is a triangular space. The other options are all parts of an arch, but they are not triangular spaces.
