The only given option that correctly defines a line segment is;

Option C; All points between and including two given points.

In geometry in mathematics, a line segment is defined as a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct end points.

Now, let us look at the options;

Option A; This is not correct because a line segment must have 2 distinct endpoints

Option B; This is not correct because a line segment is a part of a line and not a set of points.

Option C; This is correct because it tallies with our definition of line segment.

Option D; This is not correct because a line segment does not extend infinitely.
