Trisha wants to create the perpindicular biesector of line segment AB. She places her compass on point A and opens it with the width equal to the length of the line segment AB. She makes arcs above and below the line segment. What could be Trisha's next step to create the perpendicular biesector of line segment AB? A. Connect the two arcs using a straightedge B. Connect each arc with point B using a straightedge C. Place the compass on the approximate midpoint and draw intersecting arcs D. Place the compass on point B and complete the same steps that she did for point A
