Correct option is (D) All of these

Given that \(\angle B=90^\circ\) & \(BD\bot AC\)

\(\therefore\) \(\angle A+\angle B+\angle C=180^\circ\)   (In \(\triangle ABC)\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\angle A+\angle C=90^\circ\)  _______________(1)   \((\because\angle B=90^\circ)\)

Let \(\angle ABD=\angle 1\;\&\;\angle CBD=\angle 2\) 

In \(\triangle ADB,\)

\(\angle A+\angle ADB+\angle 1=180^\circ\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\angle A+\angle 1=90^\circ\) _______________(2)   \((\because\angle ADB=90^\circ\,as\,BD\bot AC)\)

From (1) & (2), we obtain

\(\angle C=\angle1\)   _______________(3)

(A) In right \(\triangle ADB\;\&\;\triangle BDC,\)

\(\angle C=\angle1\)                                      (From (3))

\(\angle ADB=\angle BDC=90^\circ\)               \((BD\bot AC)\)

\(\therefore\) \(\triangle ADB\sim\triangle BDC\)    (By AA similarity rule)

(B) In right \(\triangle ADB\;\&\;\triangle ABC,\)

\(\angle DAB=\angle BAC\)               (Common angle)

\(\angle ADB=\angle ABC=90^\circ\)                    (Given)

\(\therefore\) \(\triangle ADB\sim\triangle ABC\)    (By AA similarity rule)

(C) \(\because\) \(\triangle ADB\sim\triangle BDC\) & \(\triangle ADB\sim\triangle ABC\)

\(\therefore\) \(\triangle BDC\sim\triangle ABC\)
