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.

Based on the description of the steps provided, the construction described is of parallel lines through a point not on the given line.
The steps indicate a horizontal line segment and a slanted line intersecting it, suggesting the construction of parallel lines from a point (point U) that is not on the original line segment (LD). Thus, the correct choice would be:
parallel lines through a point not on the given line.
