Answer and step-by-step explanation:

The largest side of a triangle will be across from the largest angle in the triangle, and the smallest side of a triangle will be across from the smallest angle in the triangle.

Since ∠A is the smallest angle, the side across from it, BC, will be the smallest side.

Since ∠C is the largest angle, the side across from it, AB, will be the largest side.

This means that ∠B will be the middle-sized angle and the side across from it, AC, will be the medium sized side.

This means that AC>BC.

BC is greater than AC is correct. If you need help with the construction, feel free to ask.
And maybe you're not clear with the options, because you've written BC two times which is necessarily not an answer/option.
