Since $$\angle ADB = 90°$$, therefore$$\angle BDC = 90°$$

Now in $$\triangle DBC$$, we have

$$\angle BDC = 90°$$

and as the sum of angles in a $$\triangle$$add up to 180°

therefore

$$\angle DBC+ \angle BCD = 90°$$

Hence option C

Ofcourse there is a typo as $$\angle ABD = 90°$$ should be $$\angle ADB = 90°$$

now by the property of an exterior angle in a triangle, it is equal to the sum of opposite angles, so
$$\angle ADB = 90°=\angle DBC+ \angle BCD$$=A=90=B

C

A poor question with wrong equivalence etc
Pl relook into the source.

Please refrain from posting incorrect or misleading questions. You really shake the basic concepts of newbies like us .
AB can never be equal to BD. The question is wrong.

To be honest this is a question that while ago I found on the section for the GRE of a University website if I remember well.

it is not proper a question that I have found on an obscure website.

it is true that is my fault to check every question I posted on the board but is not the end of the world to shake the knowledge base of a student that aims to achieve the top score.

The question is not good and moves on... That's it.

We have almost countless question already to exploit.

Kindly regards
