Answer:

D

Explanation:

The diagonals of a rhombus bisect the angles, thus

∠ ABC = ∠ CBD = 5x - 18 and

∠ BAC = ∠ DAC = x

The diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other, thus

the angles round the intersection of the diagonals = 90°

Consider the triangle on the left of the rhombus, then

5x - 18 + x + 90 = 180 ( sum of angles in a triangle )

6x + 72 = 180 ( subtract 72 from both sides )

6x = 108 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 18 → D
