In order to construct a circle circumscribed to a triangle, you need to:
- first, find the perpendicular bisector of two of the sides of the triangle; 
- the two perpendicular bisectors will intersect in a point (C) that will be the center of the circle;
- point the compass in C and open it to the width of one of the points of the triangle (CJ or CK or CL);
- draw the circle.

Hence, the correct answer is: D) Construct the perpendicular bisector of JL.

The correct next step for him to take in constructing a circumscribed circle for △JKL is to construct: the perpendicular bisector of JL

How can We Construct A Circumscribed Circle of a Triangle?

To construct a circumscribed circle for a triangle, the first thing we have to do is to place our compass at the center of one of the sides of the triangle.

This center point can be gotten by constructing a perpendicular bisector to a side of the triangle.

Therefore, the correct next step for him to take in constructing a circumscribed circle for △JKL is to construct: the perpendicular bisector of JL
