Answer: (c) 130∘130^\circ

Step-by-step solution

Step 1: Find the base angles of isosceles triangle ABC

In ΔABC\Delta\text{ABC}, since AB=AC\text{AB} = \text{AC}, the angles opposite to the equal sides are equal, which means ∠B=∠C\angle\text{B} = \angle\text{C}. The sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180∘180^\circ. Subtracting ∠A=80∘\angle\text{A} = 80^\circ leaves 100∘100^\circ, so each base angle measures 50∘50^\circ.

Step 2: Calculate the halved angles formed by the angle bisectors

Since segments BD\text{BD} and CD\text{CD} are the angle bisectors of ∠B\angle\text{B} and ∠C\angle\text{C}, they divide each angle into 2 equal halves. Therefore, ∠DBC=50∘/2=25∘\angle\text{DBC} = 50^\circ / 2 = 25^\circ and ∠DCB=50∘/2=25∘\angle\text{DCB} = 50^\circ / 2 = 25^\circ.

Step 3: Determine angle BDC in triangle BDC

In ΔBDC\Delta\text{BDC}, the sum of the interior angles is 180∘180^\circ. Adding ∠DBC\angle\text{DBC} and ∠DCB\angle\text{DCB} gives 25∘+25∘=50∘25^\circ + 25^\circ = 50^\circ. Subtracting 50∘50^\circ from 180∘180^\circ yields ∠BDC=130∘\angle\text{BDC} = 130^\circ. Alternatively, using the incenter formula: ∠BDC=90∘+∠A2=90∘+40∘=130∘\angle\text{BDC} = 90^\circ + \frac{\angle\text{A}}{2} = 90^\circ + 40^\circ = 130^\circ.
