Triangle ABC is equilateral since AB = BC = AC = radius.
So, angle CAB = 60.
Similarly, angle CAD = 60.
In triangle ABD, we have AB = AD. So, corresponding angles = x
120 + 2x = 180, x = 30 degrees
Is it B?

Jay in this particular problem I came up with 30 degrees too but for clarity sake, can you really assume that the two interior angles are equal without knowing that BD was parallel to the diameter? Because if it wasnt than the interior angles of x and triangle ABD might not be equal?
