Answer:

B

Explanation:

Candace used a compass to draw the circle shown here. She then used the same compass setting to mark off arcs on the circumference. She kept making arcs until she met her starting point. In this way, she has marked 6 arcs. When connecting all points (intersection points), the formed figure will be a hexagon.

Since all arc have the same measure, this hexagon will be regular hexagon (hexagon with all congruent sides).
