jackie is performing the following construction. based on the markings that are present, what construction is she performing?
bisecting an angle
bisecting a line segment
copying an angle
copying a line segment

Explanation:

When bisecting a line segment, we use a compass to draw arcs above and below the line segment (as shown in the figure). The intersection points of these arcs help in constructing the perpendicular bisector which divides the line segment into two equal parts. There is no angle in sight for angle - related constructions (eliminating options a and c). And it's not just copying a line segment (eliminating option d) as there is an active construction (the arcs) which is characteristic of bisecting a line segment.

Answer:

B. Bisecting a line segment
