How do we find out hierarchy of branches if we have multiple branches to find out which one is the parent or child?

If I have 3 branches A,B,C then to find out the master, I do

git branch master. and it will take me to the master say A, in this case.

But, how do I find out whether branch B and C are at equal level or a sub branch of another?
