Answer:

No

Explanation:

For a point to be the midpoint of a line segment, it must bisect it into two equal segments and be on the line segment (hence, colinear with the endpoints). All four B points are equidistant from points A and C, but aren’t colinear with A and C. Therefore, they aren’t all midpoints of line segment AC.

I hope this helps! :)
