Step 1: A horizontal line segment is drawn, with the endpoints labeled upper L and upper D, left to right. A pencil is shown above segment upper L upper D with its tip pointed towards the left of point upper D.
Step 2: A horizontal line segment upper L upper D is drawn left to right. A left-to-right slanted line intersects segment upper L upper D at point upper E. Point upper U is labeled on the line above and between upper L and upper D.
Step 3: Horizontal line segment upper L upper D is drawn left to right. A left-to-right slanted line intersects segment upper L upper D at point upper E and extends indefinitely in either direction.
Step 4: Horizontal line segment upper L upper D is drawn left to right. A left-to-right slanted line intersects segment upper L upper D at point upper E and extends indefinitely in either direction. Two arcs are drawn.
Determine the type of construction being done from the steps shown.

Based on the steps described:

  1. Step 1 describes a pencil above a horizontal line segment with its tip pointing left, which suggests a possible angle or direction.
  2. Step 2 describes a slanted line intersecting a horizontal line segment at a specific point, indicating that an angle may be created.
  3. Step 3 continues describing the intersecting lines with the slanted line extending indefinitely, reinforcing the idea of an angle.
  4. Step 4 introduces arcs, typically used in constructions involving bisectors.

The construction of arcs suggests that the process being described is related to bisecting an angle. Therefore, the most fitting answer is:
