What is the difference between a central angle and an inscribed angle's effect on arc measure?

• There is no difference in their effects on arc measure.

• A central angle's measure is equal to its intercepted arc's measure, while an inscribed angle's measure is half of its intercepted arc's measure.

• A central angle's measure is twice its intercepted arc's measure, while an inscribed angle's measure is equal to its intercepted arc's measure.

• A central angle's measure is equal to its intercepted arc's measure, while an inscribed angle's measure is twice its intercepted arc's measure.
