Correct Answer: 119°


Solution :
In a circle, the angle subtended by the diameter at any point on the circle is always 90°.
$\angle BAC = 90^{\circ}$
Given that $\angle DBC = 29^{\circ}$
So, $\angle BCD = 90^{\circ} - 29^{\circ} = 61^{\circ}$
Also, the property of a cyclic quadrilateral states that the sum of opposite angles of the cyclic quadrilateral is 180°.
$\angle BAD + \angle BCD = 180^{\circ}$
$\therefore \angle BAD = 180^{\circ} - \angle BCD = 180^{\circ} - 61^{\circ} = 119^{\circ}$
Hence, the correct answer is 119°.
