Answer:

D. Midpoint

Explanation:

Bisecting means a separation directly in the middle;

A point that bisects a line will be exactly halfway along the line, which is known as the midpoint

Another way of thinking about this is:

A line segment is a kind of line, representing a portion of the line;

A parallel is also a kind of line, one that has the same gradient as another;

The 'C' option is a line itself;

The question is asking for a term that defines a point, hence none of the other 3 terms are valid as answers;

The only option that defines a point is option D
