Question

which would be the first step to construct a perpendicular to line m at point q?

Explanation:

Step1: Use a compass

Place the compass point on point Q.

Step2: Draw arcs

Draw arcs that intersect line m on both sides of point Q.

Answer:

The first - step is to place the compass point on point Q and draw arcs that intersect line m on both sides of point Q. (The option that shows arcs drawn on both sides of point Q on line m is the correct one among the given choices, but since the options are not clearly labeled with text descriptions, based on the above - described first step of construction, you can identify the correct visual option).
