Hello.

We know that a=100º.
(1) b = 30
Since

b+a+f=180º

then we have

30º+100º+f=180º -------------> f=50º.

Since f and c are opposite angles by the vertex then f=c=50º. SUFFICIENT.
(2) f = 50
Again, since f and c are opposite angles by the vertex then f=c=50º. SUFFICIENT.

Therefore, the correct answer is the option D.
