Bill is bisecting an angle with technology.

An angle was created from points A, B, and C. Point D is on ray AB. A circle with the center B has a radius the length of BD and intersects with ray BC.

Which of the following describes his next step?

Create another circle with the center D that has a radius of AD.
Draw a line from point D through point C.
Mark point E where the circle intersects with segment BC.
Draw a point anywhere outside of angle ABC.

To continue with the process of angle bisecting using the described geometric construction, the correct next step is:

Mark point E where the circle intersects with segment BC.

This step is consistent with the process of bisecting an angle, where you typically create intersections to help identify the bisector direction. After identifying intersections, you can then proceed to draw the bisector.
