The notation for a line segment that connects two points is written using a bar symbol over the two letters representing the points, such as $\overline{P Q}$. This is the most commonly used notation in mathematics. Therefore, option A is the best choice.

The Line Segment That Connects Points P and Q Is PQ‾\overline{P Q}PQ​

The Line Segment That Connects Points P and Q Is $\overline{P Q}$
