Answer: The correct option is C.

Explanation:

From the given figure it is noticed that distance of arc AC and PE is same.

To draw a parallel to the line AB passing through the point P, first we have to draw the same angle CAD on point P.

To make the same acute angle we have to measure the distance between CD.

So place the compass on point C. Open the compass to point D.

After that without changing the compass place the compass on point E and make an arc intersecting the acr on E.

Now draw a line with the help of scale which passing through points P and Q .

Therefore, the correct option is C.
