Ans will be B
since in the below diagram c is the point of intersection. If ∠ACD > 90 which means ∠BCD is less than 90 because the angle of a straight line is 180 degrees. for eg. if ∠ACD is 110 degrees then ∠BCD is max 70 degrees.

∠ACD = ∠ECB (Opposite angles)
∠ACE = ∠BCD (Opposite angles)
Total angle around a point = 360
Let ∠ACD = ∠ECB = a
∠ACE + ∠BCD = x
2a+x = 360
We can test the minimum and maximum values for a to get the range
Minimum a = 91
2*91 + x = 360
x = 360-182 = 178
Maximum a = 179
2*179+x = 360
358+x = 360
x = 360-358 = 2
X<180
