Answer:

C) A line perpendicular to a given line through a point not on a line.

Explanation:

In the given construction we draw a perpendicular line from a point which is not on line.

Please see the attachment for construction and naming of point.

  • We are given a line s and point P which is not on line.
  • Through point P we draw an arc on line which cut at two points A and B
  • Now we open an compass and mark an arc through point A.
  • Using same arc we cut the arc A through point B at point C.
  • Now we join PC. Such that PC ⊥ to line s

Thus, C is correct option. " a line perpendicular to a given line through a point not on a line".
