Solution
The correct option is A 60° Given that AB - AC = 0, that will be true only if AB = AC. Also it is given that ∠B = 60°.So it is clear that the given triangle is an isosceles triangle with one base angle 60°. Hence the triangle will be an equilateral triangle. ∴angle opposite to side BC = 60°
