ACD + DCE = 180
DCE = BAE
but BAE + ABE + 40 = 180
=> BAE = 70 since BAE = ABE
=> ACD = 110

is it E?

For this the explanation is. the perpendicular bisector of parallel chords in a circle is same. So obviously any point on it is equidistant from both ends of the chords. That's why CE = DE & AE = BE.

STILL DO NOT understand how this happens
but BAE + ABE + 40 = 180
=> BAE = 70 since BAE = ABE

AB || CD.
Parallel chords intercept CONGRUENT ARCS.
Thus, arc AC = arc DB.
Congruent arcs have CONGRUENT CHORDS.
Thus, in trapezoid ACDB, side AC = side DB.
Thus, trapezoid ACDB is ISOSCELES, implying that ∠BAC = ∠ABD.
