Correct Answer: 35°


Solution :
Given, ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB = AC
$\angle$ ABC = 55°
AD is the median to the base BC which bisects $\angle$BAC
By angle sum property in $\triangle$ABC,
$\angle$BAC + $\angle$ABC + $\angle$ACB = 180°
or, $\angle$BAC + 55° + 55° = 180°
or, $\angle$ BAC = 70°
So, $\angle$BAD = $\angle$CAD = $\frac{1}{2}\angle$BAC
or, $\angle$BAD= 35°
Hence, the correct answer is 35°.
