Solution

The correct option is D
Taking A as centre and any convenient radius, draw an arc intersecting ray AB at a point D.

In the construction of $60^{\circ}$ , the first step is to construct a ray AB and the second step is taking A as centre and any convenient radius, draw an arc intersecting ray AB at a point D.
