BLine m is parallel to segment AA′.
CSegment AA′ is the diameter of a circle centered on line m.
DThe distance from A to the origin is equal to the distance from A′ to the origin.

ALine m is parallel to AA′.
BLine m is the perpendicular bisector of AA′.
CLine m passes through the midpoint of AA′ but is not necessarily perpendicular.
DLine m is perpendicular to AA′ but does not necessarily bisect it.
