The undersurface of an arch is called the soffit or intrados; the outer curve is the extrados.

Kashif Khan said:   5 years ago
Intrados is the curve which bounds the lower edge of the arch, and soffit is actually the surface at this curve, so soffit is the right answer.

Shashwat singh said:   6 years ago
A soffit is an exterior or interior architectural feature, generally the horizontal underside of any construction element.

And
Intrados is the lower or inner curve of an arch.

So I guess the given answer may be right.
