Solution

The correct option is C perpendicular bisectors of the sides
The intersection point of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle is called the circumcentre which is equidistant from the three vertices of the triangle. Hence, a circle can be drawn from this point which passes through the vertices of the triangle. This circle is called the circumcircle.
