Answer with explanation:

In the figure Line segment L M is drawn.

Draw Ray NQ passing through Passing through N , which lies on line segment LM.

Placing the Compass nib on the point N,and then Draw an arc cutting line LM at point S and ray NQ at point P.------(1)

To draw a line parallel to line LM

Keeping the Width of Compass Same, place the compass at Q, and draw an arc similar to arc drawn in step 1 alternate to ∠QNM. Suppose it cuts ray NQ at point A,from A mark an arc on the semicircle drawn,suppose the arc cuts the semicircle at point G.Draw segment QG,passing through Q and G.

Option A. Without changing the width of the compass, place the compass at Q and draw an arc similar to the one drawn.
