Since the triangle BCD is a 30-60-90 triangle, CD:BC:BD = 1 : 2 : √3.
So, BC = 4, AB = 4, and BD = 2 √3.
Angle ABD is a right angle since angle ABC is 60 degrees, and angle CBD is 30 degrees.
By Pythagoras' theorem, AD^2 = AB^2 + BD^2 = 16 + 12 = 28. Therefore, AD = 2√7.

Therefore, E is the answer.
Answer: E
