Answer:

Option C: Copying an angle

Explanation:

Angle bisector is a line through an angle that will split that angle to 2 equal angles. Thus, option A is wrong as no angle is being split.

Copying an angle involves reproducing a particular angle in another construction. The image shows us that there is an attempt to reproduce the perpendicular angle of 90°. Thus, option B is correct.

Copying a line segment involves creating the exact size of line in another construction. The image doesn't depict that. Thus option C is wrong.

Perpendicular bisector is when we draw a perpendicular line through a horizontal one to divide it into 2 equal parts. This is not the case here. Thus, option D is wrong.
