Solution

The correct option is D
$90^{\circ}$

$A B^{2} = (2 x + 1)^{2} = 4 x^{2} + 1 - 4 x A C^{2} = (2 \sqrt{2 x})^{2} = 8 x B C^{2} = (2 x + 1)^{2} = 4 x^{2} + 1 + 4 x$
We can observe here,
$A B^{2} + A C^{2} = 4 x^{2} + 1 - 4 x + 8 x = 4 x^{2} + 1 + 4 x = B C^{2}$
$A B^{2} + A C^{2} = B C^{2}$
So from converse of Pythagorean theorem we have,
$∠ B A C = 90^{\circ}$
