You are constructing a tangent line from a point outside a given circle to the circle. You have drawn the circle, a point outside the circle and connected the center of the circle to the point outside the circle. You found the midpoint of the segment and labeled it M. Next you must use your compass. What should you use to set it?

AThe radius of the circle
BThe point outside the circle and the edge of the circle
CThe center of the original circle and the midpoint (M) of the segment
DThe center of the original circle and the intersection of the arcs used to draw the midpoint
