Answer:

D.130°

Explanation:

An arc measure ia an angle an arc makes with the circle's centre and is proportional to the angle it subtends to the circumference, arc length.

-Given that AC and BC are diameters, then
\angle AOB =\angle DOC since they are alternate angles.


\angle AOB =\angle dOC=180\textdegree\\\\3x-70=x+10\\\\x=40\textdegree

#Since angles on one side of a diameter sum up to 180°, mBC is calculated as:


(3x-70)+m\angle BC=180\\\\M\angle BC=180+70-3* 40\\\\=130\textdegree

Hence, mBC=130°
