Given:
Line segment is CD.
To find:
The beginning steps of constructing a perpendicular bisector of CD.
Solution:
To draw a perpendicular bisector of a line segment, first we need to open the compass more than half of the distance between the end points of the segment.
End points of the segment CD are C and D.
So, to draw a perpendicular bisector of CD, the compass should be stretched out more than halfway from point C to the other endpoint D.
Therefore, the correct option is C.
