Correct: A and C.

- A (True): A compass is used to draw circles and arcs.
- B (False): A rough hand sketch is not a formal geometric construction.
- C (True): Classical geometric constructions are done with a compass and straightedge (an unmarked straightedge).
- D (False): Protractors measure angles but are not allowed in classical compass-and-straightedge constructions.
- E (False): A straightedge is used to draw lines, but measuring lengths with a marked ruler is not allowed in classical constructions.
