Solution

The correct option is D

20


90 can be drawn by bisecting 180, which is a straight line. 45 can be drawn by bisecting 90.
15 can be drawn by bisecting 60 twice.
If we look at the values of angles that can be constructed by a compass, they are multiples of 15 and 20 is not a multiple of 15.
Therefore, 20 cannot be constructed using compass and ruler.
