To construct a copy of triangle BAC with point D as one vertex, the next logical step for Olivia would be:
**b. Olivia needs to draw an arc on the auxiliary segment using point D.**
This step involves using the compass to draw an arc from point D that will help in locating point A (if it's a side of the triangle) or point C, depending on the arrangement of BAC. Subsequent steps would involve measuring distances to position the other points accurately, but the immediate next step after placing point D is drawing an arc.
