c is the correct answer ..... ......

Answer:

Width of the compass should be more than the smallest space between P and RS, so that it cuts RS at two distinct points. Therefore, it must be wide enough so that the arc intersects RS←→ in two points. The photo is attached so that you can understand it more.
