If BP=CP mean that BPC is an isoscles triangle
Given, x=120
X+(angle BCP) = 180(Straight line)
Angle BCP = 180-120
=60
For isoscles triangle (angle BCP) =(Angle CBP)
(angle CBP) =60
Total angle in a triangle =180
So, angle y = 60

Correct option B

$$\angle BCP + \angle DCP = 180$$
$$\angle BCP = 60$$

BP=CP -->$$\angle BCP = \angle CBP = 60$$
$$\angle BCP + \angle CBP + y = 180$$
$$\therefore y =60$$ (Choice B)
