Answer:

First, we need to know if AP is equal to PB. We don't really know that CP passed through the midpoint of AB. We also don't know if CPA is equal to CPB. This is why there is not enough information to state that CP is the perpendicular bisector of AB.

Explanation:

A perpendicular bisector is a segment that passes through a midpoint of a segment and is perpendicular to it.
