From a point within a triangle, line segments are drawn to the vertices. A necessary and sufficient condition that the three triangles thus formed have equal areas is that the point be: $ \textbf{(A)}\ \text{the center of the inscribed circle} \qquad \\ \textbf{(B)}\ \text{the center of the circumscribed circle}\qquad \\ \textbf{(C)}\ \text{such that the three angles fromed at the point each be }{120^\circ}\qquad \\ \textbf{(D)}\ \text{the intersection of the altitudes of the triangle}\qquad \\ \textbf{(E)}\ \text{the intersection of the medians of the triangle}$
