I will go for E.

As per the diagram, BDC is an isosceles triangle. However, it is not known what ABD is.

I beleive angle BAD is x, which is missing in the diagram.

In that case.. answer would be A.

Yeah, we are missing a crucial element of the question here.

Agree with the above ( A ... if angle BAD is x)

say ABD=y

x+y+180-2x=180
--> x=y = ABD

So ABD isosceles triangle
thus AD= BD=6
BDC is isoceles triangle..
so BD=BC=6

SUFFICIENT.
