    Given:

    Line segment is CD.

    To find:

    The beginning steps of constructing a perpendicular bisector of CD.

    Solution:

    To draw a perpendicular bisector of a line segment, first we need to open the compass more than half of the distance between the end points of the segment.

    End points of the segment CD are C and D.

    So, to draw a perpendicular bisector of CD, the compass should be stretched out  more than halfway from point C to the other endpoint D.

    Therefore, the correct option is C.
