Choices:

A. Angle Bisector Postulate4
B. Angle Bisector Postulate5
C. Angle Bisector Postulate6
D. Angle Bisector Postulate7
Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Step 1: Angle bisector is a ray that divides an angle into two equal parts. [Definition of angle bisector.]
Step 2: The ray that divides ∠ACB into two equal angles is Angle Bisector Postulate5 . 
Step 3: Hence Angle Bisector Postulate5 is the angle bisector of ∠ACB.
