Answer:

D. the bisector creates a right angle with the figure.

Explanation:

We know that, 'Angle Bisector' is a line that divides the angle into two equal parts.

But, this does not imply that it divides the angle into right angles.

For e.g. if we take an angle of 120°, an angle bisector will divide the angle into two equal parts.

So, the value of the newly obtained angles =
(120)/(2) = 60°, which are not right angles ( i.e. 90° ).

Therefore, 'the bisector creates a right angle with the figure' is not a property of an angle bisector.

Hence, option D is incorrect.
