To construct an equilateral triangle, you would need a compass. Here are the steps:

1. Draw a straight line of any length using a ruler. This will be the base of your triangle.

2. Open your compass to the length of the line you just drew.

3. Without changing the compass width, put the point of the compass at one end of the line and draw an arc above the line.

4. Keeping the same compass width, put the compass point at the other end of the line and draw another arc so it intersects with the first arc.

5. Draw straight lines from the ends of the original line to the point where the arcs intersect.

So, the correct answer is C. compass.
