Answer:

The correct option that defines a Lancet Window is; B. a tall narrow window with a pointed arch at the top

A lancet window is simply a very narrow and tall window that has a pointed arch at the top. It could also be defined as a thin, high window that is topped by an arch. The pointy sharp arch of this type of window has the arch's arcs, or curves with a radius that is greater than the breadth of the arch. Finally, the name lancet window came from the word lance because they have similar shapes.
