Bisecting segment AB means dividing segment AB into two equal parts. So then the answer is option A. Yes; the compass was kept at the same width to create the arcs for points C and D.
In construction of angles and lines, bisection implies dividing either a given angle or line segment into two equal parts. This means after the construction, the two parts must have equal measure.
Considering the given question, to bisect a line segment:
1. Draw the required length of the line segment AB.
2. With point A and radius of the compass greater than half of AB, describe arcs above and below the segment.
3. With the same radius as in step 2 and point B, describe two arcs above and below the segment. These would intersect that of step 2 at C and D.
4. Join the points of intersection of the arcs with a straight line CD.
Thus, segment AB has been divided into two equal halves by bisection method.
