\(\angle bac\) + \(\angle abc\) = \(\angle bcd\)
Thus, \(\angle abc\) = 2y i.e 2 \(\angle bac\)
Option 1 gives the length of side BC, which is 4
As \(\angle abc\) = 2 \(\angle bac\) , hence the side opposite \(\angle abc\) should be greater than side opposite \(\angle bac\) .
A is thus sufficient.
Option 2 doesnt give the length of any side or any other useful information, Not sufficient.
Answer is A.
