Correct:
D
Explanation
AB = BC makes triangle ABC isosceles with B as the apex, so the base angles at A and C are equal; hence ∠CAB (given as ∠BAC) = ∠BCA = 70°. Therefore ∠ABC = 180° − 70° − 70° = 40°. For a cyclic quadrilateral opposite angles are supplementary, so ∠ADC + ∠ABC = 180°. Thus ∠ADC = 180° − 40° = 140°. Therefore the correct choice is option 4 (140°).
