Which sentence states a property or a definition used in the construction of a perpendicular bisector?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Hey there! Welcome to OpenStudy! It looks like there are some answer choices for your question. Could you post those?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A line that intersects a line segment at an angle of 90° is parallel to the line segment. A line that bisects a line segment is necessarily perpendicular to the line segment. Any two points equidistant from the midpoint of a line segment lie on its perpendicular bisector. Any point on a perpendicular bisector is equidistant from each endpoint of the line segment.

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

to bisect something means to cut it into two equal parts.
