To determine which line segment is the angle bisector of ∠PQR, we need to recall that an angle bisector divides the angle into two equal parts.

Considering the options given:

  • If line segment QP were the angle bisector, it would have to split ∠PQR into two equal angles. However, it is one of the sides of the angle.
  • The line segment AC appears to be a straight segment drawn from a point C on the line QR that could potentially bisect the angle.
  • Similarly, BR and QC would only be bisectors if they created two equal angles, which needs further context from the image.

Since we would need to identify which line segment actually bisects the angle based on the configuration depicted in the image, it seems likely that line segment AC is specifically constructed in the context to state it is the angle bisector.

Therefore, the most plausible response would be: Line segment AC is the angle bisector of ∠PQR.
