Explanation

As we move away from segment AB along its perpendicular bisector, the radii of the circles passing through A and B increase. A circle with a larger radius has less curvature, making it appear less curved.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Moving along the perpendicular bisector away from AB increases the radius of the circle passing through A and B.

  2. Step 2: As the radius increases, the curvature of the circle decreases.

  3. Step 3: Therefore, the circle appears less curved.
