Solution
The correct option is C a straight line
As per figure given we draw points equal distance P ,Q ,R and S from two point A and B.
Then we find the locus of points equidistant from these two points, we will always find the same thing: that the locus of points is actually the perpendicular bisector of the segment that joins the two points.
Then the all point equidistant from point A and B are straight lines.
