Answer:

b. 43°

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle because AB = CB. Now one property of isosceles triangles is that base angles A and C are also equivalent. In other words,


∠A=∠C

Now we are told that


∠A=43\degree

Therefore,


\angle C=\angle A=43\degree
\Rightarrow\boxed{\angle C=43\degree.}

The measure of ∠C is 43°. Therefore, choice B is the correct answer!
