ANSWER:

5

Explanation:

The figure ABCD is a parallelogram so AC and BD are bisected, which means that AE = EC are equal, therefore, we can determine the value of AE like this:


\begin{gathered} AC=AE+EC \\ AE=EC \\ AC=2AE \\ AE=(AC)/(2) \\ \text{ replacing} \\ AE=(10)/(2) \\ AE=5 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is a. 5
