Does the construction demonstrate how to bisect a segment correctly by hand?

Yes; the compass was kept at the same width to create the arcs for points C and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

When bisecting a segment by hand the steps are:

-Place the compass on one of the endpoints and open the compass to a distance more than halfway across the segment.

-Swing an arc on either side of the segment.

-Keeping the compass at the same width, place the compass on the other endpoint and swing arcs on either side so that they intersect the first two arcs created.

-Mark the intersection points of the arcs and draw a line through those two points.

-The point where this new line crosses the given segment is the midpoint and divides the segment in half.

Its not b because segment c and d was created when you marked the intersection points of the arcs and just drew a line through those two points; They didn't use a straightedge. its not C because this does demonstrate how to bisect a segment by hand, Also the compass was kept at the same width to create the arcs for points C and D. Its not D because this does demonstrate how to bisect a segment by hand, Also a straightedge was not used to create segment CD.
