Answer:

Option (2)

Explanation:

Steps to draw a perpendicular at a point lying on a segment;

1). Take a point on the segment at which the perpendicular is to be drawn.

2). Draw an arc from the point chosen on the segment which intersects the segment at the two different points.

3). Now mark two arcs from these points with the same radius intersecting each other on the same side of the segment.

4). Join the point of intersection of the arc with the point given on the line with straightedge.

Hence a perpendicular is drawn at a point of a segment.

These steps have been followed in option (2).

Option (2) will be the answer.
