Your question seems incomplete. Or its a question just to confuse students in which case the answer is d. But do not expect this in of questions in GRE

There is a possibility that the question is incomplete since there is no value given in the figure. However, if I assume that the question is correct then the answer should be D. Because there is no way to find the exact value of BC in number, and it could be any value greater than or less than the value in the B which is 40^(1/2).

The answer should be D because we do not know the information about the segment that bisect the biggest triangle.

It could be pointed out anywhere. For sure is incomplete
