The size of a cam depends upon

A base circle
B pitch circle
C prime circle
D pitch curve

Correct Answer: base circle

Base circle is the smallest circle that can be drawn to the cam profile. Pitch circle is a circle drawn from the centre of the cam through the pitch points. Prime circle is the smallest circle that can be drawn from the centre of the cam and tangent to the pitch curve.
