Solution

The correct option is B is parallel to $B C$
In $△ D A E, D E$ bisect $∠ A D B$
$\Rightarrow \frac{D A}{D B} = \frac{A E}{E B}$ ...... $(1)$
Similarly, in $△ D A C$ ,
$D E$ bisect $∠ A D C$
$\frac{D A}{D C} = \frac{A F}{F C}$
$⟹ D C = D B$
$∴ \frac{D A}{D B} = \frac{A F}{F C}$ ..... $(2)$
$\frac{A E}{E B} = \frac{A F}{F C}$
In $△ A B C, E F ∥ B C$
