Correct Answer

A

Explanation

The locus of a point P that is equidistant from two given points S and T is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment ST.The perpendicular bisector is a line that intersects the line segment ST at its midpoint and is perpendicular to ST. It is the set of all points that are equidistant from S and T.In other words, any point P on the perpendicular bisector of ST will have the same distance to both S and T.Therefore, the locus of the point P is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment ST.
