ANSWER:

C. Place the compass on point A. Open the compass to a point between point P and point B.

EXPLANATION:

A perpendicular is a line that would be at a right angle to line BA.

The next step is to chose a radius that is greater than PB or PA so as to construct the bisector. And this can be done by placing the compass on point A, and open the compass to a point between point P and point B.

Use this radius to draw an arc above and below the line, and repeat the same using B as the center with the same radius. This would form two intersecting arcs above and below line BA. Join the point of intersection of the arcs by a straight line through P. This is the bisector of line BA through point P.
