b. by marking the center and creating four equal sectors
c. by constructing perpendicular bisectors from each diameter point
d. by drawing four arcs from a single point

Explanation:

Step1: Find the diagonal of the square

The diameter of the circle is the diagonal of the inscribed square. Given the radius of the circle is $r$, the diameter $d = 2r$. Let the side - length of the square be $a$. Using the Pythagorean theorem for the square ($a^{2}+a^{2}=d^{2}$), since $d = 2r$, we have $2a^{2}=(2r)^{2}=4r^{2}$.

Step2: Solve for the side - length of the square

From $2a^{2}=4r^{2}$, we can solve for $a^{2}$ (the area of the square). Divide both sides of the equation $2a^{2}=4r^{2}$ by 2, we get $a^{2}=2r^{2}$.

To create concentric circles in GeoGebra, we use the circle - tool. The circle - tool allows us to define a circle with a given center and radius. By changing the radius value while keeping the center the same, we can create concentric circles. The polygon tool is for creating polygons, the media tool is for inserting media, and the mirror tool is for reflecting geometric objects.

When constructing a square inscribed in a circle, we first mark the center of the circle. Then, we create two perpendicular diameters (by creating four equal sectors). The intersection points of these diameters with the circle are the four vertices of the square. Dividing the circle into four unequal parts will not give a square. Constructing perpendicular bisectors from each diameter point is not the correct way, and drawing four arcs from a single point is also not the correct method for this construction.

Answer:

d. $2r^{2}$
