First, since angles in a triangle must add to 180°, we can see that the missing angle in the red triangle must be 180° - (x + 44)°
Simplify this measurement to get (136 - x)°
Finally, since AD is parallel to BC, we know that the two highlighted angles below must add to 180°.
So, we can write: (136 - x)° + 2x° + 3x° = 180°
Simplify: 136 + 4x = 180
Subtract 136 from both sides: : 4x = 44
Solve: x = 11
Our goal is to find the measurement of ∠ADC
Since ∠ADC = 3x°, we can replace x with 11 to get: ∠ADC = 3x° = 3(11)° = 33°

AD is parallel to BC
So, Angle ADC + Angle BCD = 180°
Now, Angle BCD = Angle BCE + 2x
[Refer attached Image]
= 136°-x + 2x = 136° + x
Angle ADC + Angle BCD = 180°
=> 3x + 136° + x = 180
=> 4x = 180°-136° = 44°
=> x = 11°
So, Angle ADC = 3x = 3*11° = 33°
So, answer will be C
Hope it helps!
